When I debuted my eDGe at work, a couple of Apple fan(atics) asked me, while snickering, why I didn't just wait for the iPad. After seeing me use it in meetings a few times, however, one of them asked me how much it cost. Two weeks later, he said he was thinking about buying it. Last week, two other colleagues asked me about the advantages of the eDGe over the iPad. One of them is planning to buy an eDGe; the other's still sitting on the fence.
