If your Uni won't cover it because the company is potentially going under, definitely consider picking up a used one. I got my full-sized Edge, used, from an Amazon seller for $380. There are quite a few up for auction on ebay that are well under the $500+ retail price. It's worth it! And does all sorts of things that the ipad just can't do.

I'd happily spend my own money on a new Edge today if I were sure the Entourage update servers would still be running by the time I opened the box and turned the thing on a few days from now. I don't know when this last crop was manufactured, but I doubt they shipped with Dingo 1.1.11 on board, and quite a few users here seem to think this whole place could go dark at any second. I can live without future updates, but it'd be awfully nice to have the past ones! Seems that a used Edge may indeed be a safer bet.
