P.S. there's a full image of EE android distributive were released, so you can download, and try to make your own firware version (like dided for NooK, Alex, Kindle and so on).
Part of what intrigues me about this devices it the potential hackability of it. I came from a netbook, and after the screen broke, I'm looking for a replacement. The eDGe seems like it could be a decent replacement, except that I was used to full linux on my netbook. If the eDGe could get close to that, I could see myself using the eDGe pretty regularly.
