walt526, thanks for this extensive explanation. I don't know if you're right, but if so... Then it's great because it seems that entourage has a plan and a goal and they're getting there, step by step. Unfortunately this also means that I'll be left out at least for a forseeable future.

Anyways, I'll write to entourage directly - although I already did in a few e-mails with general questions - asking them to reconsider their policy towards Europe, especially central Europe.

I'm not a specialist in IT or economics, and I don't know what and how must be done, but if I could buy eDGe together with content directly from USA store, and the posting would be done from China, from the manufacturer, it seems the price could be cut down quite a bit. $800-900 is simply out of my reach.

I know the comparison to a netbook is partially inadequate, but I can get a modern netbook from a store on my street for less than $300.
