By Benedict WeeGadget-site Gearlog has a hands on preview of enTourage's Android eBook reader and judging from the impressions they have, forking out US$490/NZ$650 doesn't seem too bad when you consider how much netbooks cost in New Zealand.
To refresh your memory, the eDGe is a dual-touchscreen device with a 9.7-inch electronic ink display on one side and a 10.1-inch LCD screen running Android 1.6 (though it might be updated to 2.0) on the other. This means all the standard Android features such as a web browser, media player and more importantly; the app market will be usable from the get go.
The eDGe is WiFi-capable and has Bluetooth but 3G access comes in a module which is sold separately. Its internal storage space is only 3GB though you can always expand it with a SD card and it comes with a standard headphone jack, built-in stereo speakers and a Lithium-ion polymer battery which will power the eBook reader for 16 hours on the e-ink display alone or 6 hours when both screens are in use.
