Review: enTourage eDGe dualbook
Posted on April 1, 2010 | No Comments
To say that the enTourage eDGe dualbook is "just an e-reader with a bolted-on netbook" (or vice versa) is to pretty dramatically miss the entire point of this thing. The eDGe exists in a category all by itself, because it does an awful lot more than just an e-reader or just a netbook. As a unique product, there are a couple of unfortunate shortcomings, but on the whole the dualbook represents an exciting glimpse at new ways to access and use technology and content. Devin pooh-poohed the eDGe recently, but I'm pretty excited about it.

I received the Entourage eDGe review unit the other day, and have been playing with it quite a bit. A full review is coming soon, but suffice to say that I like what I've seen so far. Here are a handful of photos to whet your appetite for my forthcoming review!

enTourage eDGe dualbook gets deals with academia
Posted on January 11, 2010 | No Comments
The enTourage eDGe dualbook made its official debut at CES last week, along with lots of other e-book readers, dual-screen laptops, and more. We mentioned the eDGe book store, but that book store is gaining usefulness with the announcement of deals with publishers McGraw Hill, Oxford University Press and John Wiley & Sons, which will bring a number of academic texts to the dualbook. And enTourage has just inked a deal with Blackboard, a leading e-learning platform. More details inside.

Entourage announces e-book store for eDGe dualbook
Posted on November 18, 2009 | No CommentsThe Entourage eDGe, the world's first "dualbook" is a dual-screen laptop / e-book reader hybrid thingie. The laptop portion is pretty straightforward, but what about the e-book? In the already crowded e-book space, how can the eDGe compete? Well, today they've announced they're very own e-book store. That's right, a device that is not yet in anyone's hands now has its own bookstore. All sarcasm aside, this is a pretty good move to demonstrate the long-term commitment from Entourage to the eDGe, even if it is yet another e-book store (okay, so maybe it wasn't all sarcasm aside). Read on for the whole press release.

It’s a netbook! It’s an e-reader! It’s the enTourage eDGe!
Posted on October 19, 2009 | No CommentsReading e-books on a netbook is a nuisance, right? But e-readers are a pain because they're a single-function device, which means your man-bag gets filled with yet-another-specialty-gadget. Behold the enTourage eDGe: "the world’s first dualbook, combining the functions of an e-reader, netbook, notepad, and audio/video recorder and player in one."
