Thanks. She's a 14-year-old Maine Coon Cat that's still bright-eyed and playful when she's not sleeping.

EDIT: Actually, let us know what you think of the browser and Android environment. Especially if you are able to browse using the touchscreen with your fingers. I can't use it at all. I do, however, consider the eink screen with Wacom input a bargain given that the DR1K is still $850/unit.

The green light stopped blinking after less than two hours. I didn't use it plugged-in because I needed to walk it over to the business center to update on the free wireless (my wifi router arrives tomorrow).
Checked for updates. Hm, it said it was up to date -- did they install the latest stuff before shipping mine? Anyway, registration went without a hitch and I re-downloaded to the eDGe a previously purchased DRM PDF from enTourage's bookstore. No problem.
The Android interface is a super improvement over what I have to use in the SDK emulator. I was surprised. The eDGe also boots up two or three times faster than the Android 1.6 emulator.
No issues with navigation except it being more sensitive and faster-reacting than in the emulator, so I "overshot" when scrolling and such. Android's keyboard is NOT multi-touch so any attempt at speed would result in frustration. I just tapped with the stylus.
I'm pleased so far, but maybe my expectations were low? I've never used an iPod Touch or iPhone so perhaps I just don't know what a fantastic interface is like?
