The future for Edge owners
I am one of the presumably many who just got an Edge on Woot! only to learn here that the device is being discontinued.
It seems that Entourage have an opportunity here to do right by those who have bought these devices, by open sourcing all the code (I know some is due to GPL, but I assume that much isn't). I would hope that by doing so the community could step in and maintain the software, and hopefully support future releases of Android as well. In the process Entourage could ensure the goodwill of their current user base and advocates.
OTOH if Entourage just drops everyone at this point then I think they will have a PR issue on their hands. Would you buy a Slate from such a company?
