The Pitch: Entourage calls its Edge “the world’s first dualbook,” which is another way of saying it comes in a netbook form factor with a standard LCD display on one half and an e-ink display on the other. To add to the cleverness, the LCD half runs Android to allow you to do all your standard smartphone/netbook tasks such as surfing the web and checking email. The e-ink side can work with a stylus for taking notes and highlighting in addition to reading ebooks.
Pros: It’s the perfect storm of the latest buzzwords for gadget lovers: e-ink, android, and smartphone rolled into one.
Cons: The devil is in the details with gadgets like these, and we won’t know those details until it’s released in February.
Recommendation: An ebook reader tied to a full Android-powered WiFi tablet is certainly intriguing. Will it be vaporware? Will it have decent battery power? Only time will tell.
Price: $490
