I agree with Paul. Even though dedicated devices are almost always better (think digital camera and camcorder). Even though digital camera also records video and camcorder also takes pictures, each device is best at its own task it was specifically designed for. I own a $5,000 laptop that I use for heavy programming. This laptop is heavy and difficult to carry around. If I can offload some tasks to the eDGe, for example, and only carry the eDGe, that would be great. Of course, the eDGe would not compete performance wise but as long as it is functional and usable that's what I would care about.
You are correct that dedicated devices are always better but if I have a device that can do a lot of things, why not take it to its limits and see how far it will go?
