I hope the Edge will progress and will not became another abandoned project with few Guinea pigs like us just because their ambitions were too high. Things are changing a lot, we are in a different business environment than few years ago, so old models do not work. Edge do not have the money, the PR, the marketing engine of Apple. So they should look and question regularly their business model otherwise they will not be here in a year time. The Edge does not exceed in design, is a good idea although, but missing in the software. I think is decisive for Edge to sort their software, release the e-ink SDK, and use any channel available to distribute the product. More units sold means more money for development. I do not think they have a patent for a 2 screens device, so tell me what will stop another company doing the same think, better and fancier designed? Like I suggested using a Oled or Pixel Qi screen combined with e-ink, in a slimmer dual sided unit, or any other clever design? So sorry, better use sour diplomacy to keep Entourage on their heels/ top of the wave.
