I was writing a post yesterday about a suspicion I had, and I decided finally against it, because many new members were coming to the Forum and I didn't want to throw a suspicion on their enthusiastic
faces, but now, with this news today...
In the last week, I had the feeling that Entourage was getting rid of all their PEs because they would discontinue it, and that this implied throwing at the market even old models and remaining lots.
I felt this because one fellow member commented that he/she had received a PE without the Entourage logo embossed on the lid, which sounded very strange to me, and another
said he had received what seemed to me to be one of the first released or prototypes Edge, as it had no Journal app and Badger 0.sth.
So I got the feeling that they were getting rid OF IT ALL, I mean, whatever they had in stock no matter how old or how outdated, even the samples!
Perhaps I am wrong, but when I read those bits of information along the week, and I saw the price was plummetting down and the PE was offered in Woot, which has a history of bargain hunting by acquiring big lots of remaining discontinued stocks, I thought to myself, "The PE is done and over for good".
So this information is consistent with the behaviour they have been showing in the last months, the secretive, silent, non responsive presence/abscense of Administrators here in the forum,
the lack of product information in their website, and obviously the decision of first getting as much profit as possible for the remaining PE stock, and only then start releasing information about their new projects.
One thinks if they also plan to discontinue the EE as well, and if they do, I bet they will also display the same behaviour in this case, so we will know it by reading posts elsewhere.
A pity.
