Entourage Pocket Edge Now Ridiculously Cheap on Amazon.com - eBookNewser:

"Entourage’s second, smaller dual book is selling for $199 on Amazon right now. That’s literally half the original retail price.

But should you get it? That’s another matter.

This isn’t your normal eReader. It has 2 screens, a 7″ LCD and a 6″ E-ink. The LCD screen has a resistive touchscreen and the E-ink screen has a Wacom sensor. There’s a webcam above the E-ink screen, and 2 speakers and a mike in the spine. There’s a microSD card slot and a USB Host port."

The screens should attach and detach at will and maintain the same connectiveness, possibly wi-fi connection when they are not connected.

"The Pocket Edge has two screens. On the left side it has a 6-inch E Ink screen with a Wacom touchscreen. On the right side it has a 7-inch LCD touchscreen. The hinged design makes it so you can fold the screens together or 180 degrees back."

The more I see of the Edge the more I like it. Unfortunately the $399 price tag is a bit too steep for me. If I ever came into some money I'd get this and some other ebook reader that would fit into a jacket pocket.

Entourage Pocket Edge reveals itself on the Home Shopping Network for $399

Its heartening that the Pocket Edge is on sale for $399, down $100 from the regular $499. I like the clamshell e-ink/LCD combination and the WACOM pen-able screen is great for document markup. I think they sckimped a bit on the LCD side: better touchscreen sensitivity would have been good. Haptic response would have been ideal for the times you wanted to sit it up sideways like a netbook and do some serious typing.

Out of my price range, but maybe it'll show up on HSN next X-mas for $299.

Maybe it'll be Easter.
