For me and my requirements, anything that doesn't have a large e-ink screen is useless - try reading a LCD screen in bright sunlight and you will see why.
I originally started out with a laptop but very quickly added a kindle DX because of its large e-ink screen. When I found out about the eDGe and the fact I could combine two units into one I bought it. It does what I want, which may not be what anyone else wants, it allows me to read manuals in bright sunlight or under other bright lighting and keep in contact with our servers over the net from any clients property. The only thing I haven't been able to use it for are things like re-imaging servers on site and that is a limitation of the Android operating system.
As a general purpose tool for my work I've not found anything to replace it.
