Well I wouldn't like to buy eDGe for the cost of a netbook, but as I showed it is possible to buy a netbook & e-reader for half the European price of eDGe. The
European price is a major factor here.
And don't compare eDGe to BMW or mansions. It's as inaccurate as my comparison of eDGe to netbooks. BMW is Apple or Amazon, entourage (no matter how much I like them) isn't even a Fiat. It's a Tata from India in this comparison. A totally new approach by an unknown company, with semi-funcitonal software, and quirky hardware. Still it's potential is so great that we all sit in front of our computers discussing eDGe. Not Tata...
And when I want something better I sometimes pay nothing in contrast to a lot. OpenOffice vs MS Office? Linux vs Windows?
New notebooks & netbooks are also much cheaper than those available a year or two ago.
So please don't take me for a village idiot who wants to get eDGe for free. I just don't like the
European price (as most Europeans) but I do like eDGe (as a lot of Europeans probably would).
