Entourage eDGe Video — Looks Heavy
The Entourage eDGe e-book reader has captured the interest of quite a few of us, primarily due to the two full screens. The eDGe runs on Android, and that means the full color screen can be a full web tablet. This can augment the e-Ink reading experience provided by the left screen. I am expecting a review unit when they are available, although that has now been pushed back to the end of January.
The eDGe will debut at the CES next month, so hopefully I’ll get a chance to see one in person at the show. Meanwhile, Cnet has a hands-on video of the eDGe that shows it up close and personal. It is definitely a very cool reader, although the weight of the book-like format concerns me. Have a look at the video and see what you think.
