As for future models, I take it you realize that even if enTourage came out with a better model tomorrow, that within a year it would be superceded by yet a better model, and the year after that a better model still. This happens with every device, and a wise purchaser tries to get the best available at the time, or perhaps waits a month until the new model becomes available. For the eDGe, the large and Pocket eDGes are what's currently available with no indication yet from enTourage of a "next" model.

Having said that, the current eDGe really is quite excellent and very useable. The one thing it can't yet do that many people want is landscape on the eInk side and this is purely a software issue that enTourage is working on.

Of course, if you wait 5 years, you'll probably have an eDGe that is 0.5 lbs, 1/4" thick, has 100 TB capacity, has instantaneous network connection speeds, can play holographic HD movies in ultra high def (streamed, of course), and responds instantly to voice command alone True, I'm being silly, but you get my drift
