I can clarify some things about the Pocket eDGe now. It will be running Android 1.6 still for a few months. The reader screen will not support landscape mode for a a while. The Dutch site jumped the gun a bit and also had their facts wrong. As for Flash, Android 2.2 is capable of supporting Flash 10.1, but the certification from Adobe is between them and the processor vendor. It is not automatic with Android 2.2. Not many of the current 2.2 based devices on the market actually support 10.1. We will still be on Flash Lite 3.14 for a while and will be moving to Flash Lite 4.0 fairly soon, which will satisfy the majority of issues currently experienced with Flash content.

That being said, the Pocket eDGe is incredibly convenient for a broader set of purposes and we think it will be very popular. HSN has it exclusively for a short period and is actually a really good vehicle for a product pre-launch.
