The fact that clicking on "Devices" on the eDGe home page brings you to a list of authorized resellers of the Pocket eDGe only, most of whom are no longer listing the device or out of stock, is going to do way more to scare off potential buyers than anything in the forum. At this point you really have to scour the Net if you want to buy a new eDGe, and 5 minutes of research will indicate it's not because it's wildly popular.

The things that forum members are worried by are the same things potential customers will notice. It's not like any of us have inside information.
