The fact that clicking on "Devices" on the eDGe home page brings you to a list of authorized resellers of the Pocket eDGe only, most of whom are no longer listing the device or out of stock, is going to do way more to scare off potential buyers than anything in the forum. At this point you really have to scour the Net if you want to buy a new eDGe, and 5 minutes of research will indicate it's not because it's wildly popular.

The things that forum members are worried by are the same things potential customers will notice. It's not like any of us have inside information.

I will be one of the first to post how wrong I was, "if" entourage were proven, beyond a shadow of doubt, to be as viable as when I purchased the 10" Edge a year ago.

If you're gonna be first, then I'll be the second.

I'm working on honing my political skills, so I'd just come up with an implausible explanation for why I wasn't technically wrong.

However, all of the USA stores listed under the devices tab do list the Pocket Edge ( 7 resellers ) and only 1 (Walmart) lists it as out of stock, 2 others ( both CDW ) don't specify if it is in stock but ask you to contact them.

Most of the other non-USA sites also list Pocket Edge only ( they all appear to be the same company just different languages/country) I could not tell if they list it in stock or not.

The point being.......there is stock out there for sale if you still want an Edge, you just have to settle for a pocket edge.

Plus, a used PE went for only $134 on eBay today. Almost sorry I missed it. Several others listed - both new and used.

A used EE on ebay is still under $200 with less than 10 hours to go. I'll be interested to see if there's a last minute bidding frenzy on it.

Amazon.com has a handful of EE's available, just search for "Entourage". They also list various 3rd party retailers that also sell the EE.

BTW: Amazon is also listing "In Stock" for the AC adapter.
