The Entourage Edge is more like a netbook than a mobile device (the lack of HD and keyboard qualifies it more for the mobile, I suppose, but the study features are definitely more like a netbook.

And it's bigger than my Samsung 10.2" screen netbook.

I was in Egypt/Jordan for 3 weeks end of last year, and in almost every single hotel room, it was an ethernet cable that brought us Internet.

Wireless was available as well but only downstairs in a special area usually, and I preferred using the netbook very late at night in the rooms.

So it makes sense that EE has some kind of ethernet to USB thing.
