Hi, just got my pocket eDGe. I updated to 2.2 and then started using it. I noticed that the eink side gets very warm - almost uncomfortable to the touch warm when I am using the tablet side. This is in the bottom towards the hinge. I got scared and shut the eDGe down. It still does it whenever I am downloading. I know the battery is on the tablet side, so I will have to assume that it is the processor (or memory). Am I overly cautious or should I be worried since there is no cooling vents? The area is where I would hold the unit in my hands to read (left hand side).
