There are some very smart people still working on/with the devices and willing to answer questions. I don't know whether that's enough for you.

I'm very happy with both of my eDGes, but wish some good company had picked up the concept and was working to make them faster, lighter, and even better. I have yet to see another device I like as much.
Oh, I do really like the sound and look it it I've gone for an iPad now, though. I'm not very 'techy' at all (I don't even understand basic vocabulary like hacking and rooting ), so the manufacturer support matters to me. I hope someone else invents a new and improved version in the future. I think the concept is great.
