as I said I am an early adopter of tech. I do owe 1 alex reader, 1 rooted Nook, 1 ipad and of course an edge. There are things I like on each of them. I want to use the Edge for more than a reader, which both Nook and Alex are fantastic with a perfect screen and easy to hold on one hand. however edge fail me due to poor eink/lcd integration, lack of content etc. I am sorry but Alex is not a clone, Nook is a clone of Alex, as they introduced first the dual e-ink / lcd concept to Barnes and Nobles which have been stealing the concept and format from them. Also Alex prototype been around long before edge started exploring the concept. Edge was coming from a Chinese start up and the got the EE setup in USA for marketing purposes. Sorry to say, but design of EE is still a Mickey Mouse/ Fisher Price cheap look, you should see my red Edge! I am not moaning but I am trying to point out some issues here. Edge should at least excel by software and riding the android wave. But probably you are still in denial and do not realize this is a 3 person operation, that software development is sub-contracted out a very bad paid contractor probably in India. If they do not get their act together the whole concept will be gone by spring 2011, and our only hope of future development and upgrade support is to get the SDK out and get a community like xdadev build around supporting and improving old phones around this device. I hope I made myself clear, I DO NOT want Edge to fail, but failure to work with the community when you use an open source platform is a major pitfall. Also they should employ more software developers to improve the software integration of this unit. Otherwise the only destination of this device will be my loft museum of obsolete devices.
