"Twice the hardware" refers not just to the LCD but also to the wacom and touch features offered by the Edge. When you also add back in the SD, USB slots and BlueTooth support, the Edge definately sports "twice" the hardware of the DX.
I hope that Amazon looks at the features that Entourage has enabled and then updates the Kindle line. One feature of the Edge that Amazon should try to steal is the Tag Library organizational scheme.
Amazon blazed a trail with the Kindle. Now they need to innovate or simply get out of the way.

You can bet that they already have new devices in the pipeline. But now is not the time to announce them. The Sony's 7.1 screen is no challenge, Irex selfdestructed again with the 800, and the other 9.7" screens are coming in September or so only. And as far as the Que is concerned they will just sit and wait for the response. So for the moment it makes sense to just have the money coming in and spring the announcement just before a serious challenger actually brings their devices to market.
Amazon is not doing that "9 month early announcement" nonsense. When they announce a new device it is all set for delivery within a month or so. Announcing something too early just means they would have to drop prices for their old models.
