What the Deuce?
Why do so many people on here complain about their product?
Look the Pocket eDGe I just got for a belated Birthday present may not have ALL the bells and whistles the newer tablets have, but I wish people would look at all it does do and shut it! 1. This can view and mark up PDFs in the field for my profession - EVEN THOUGH I can't download AutoCAD WS app - I can still find a work around. Yes, a little bummed I can't download it and use it but overall not a HUGE ordeal - besides I need a workstation to edit CAD drawings not a tablet anyway. 2. The apps on Amazon are still mostly able to be used...yes, I can't download Memento catalog app, but there are work arounds for even that. 3. This thing is very powerful for what it can accomplish and the ability to use a Micro SD card is just one bonus....yeah, I'm pointing a finger at you Apple and your proprietary iPad - I gotta buy a new tablet everytime I want a new space adjustment. 4. Look at all the inputs. Mini and FULL size USB - yes, I said FULL size USB - holy smokes that is sweet I can plug in anything - look ma' no hands. 5. Bluetooth - yes it has it! Ok, so it doesn't have a great app selection or the 'official' market app store. Maybe the people at entourage are a tad bit slow at rolling out updates, but good grief I couldn't keep up with the technology so why are we so demanding, because the BIG companies roll out something new every time we turn around. Give it a rest and relax; enjoy your eDGe's and be happy you have so much in your hands. Good product-thank you! |

dude, keep breathing and read more on this forum. you will notice that the majority is ig time happy with there eDGe and/or Pocket eDGe. Furthermore, on the forum you try to find answers on problems and share ideas and experience. that's what the forum is about.
the eDGe is indeed a super cool device. I love it and I got it almost from the start. great stuff. I have the combo eDGe and IREX. both in my perception the top of the portable devices. Yes, I copy the last.. it's more than a top product. |

That, my dear wdcorbitt, is according to me the reader of the readers. funny enough a reader I bought at the same time as I bought the eDGe. all in April last year. The biggest joke is that IREX went busted, chapter 11, finito. company did a re-start, but for all reader owners nada.
luckely for me I bought 3 readers and my wife to loves it. So we got a spare reader. the reader is still sold by this company http://www.solidfx.com/FX8.htm for a fortune. |

SolidFx has nothing to do with dutch company iRex, it just uses the reader for its software. Some friends of mine own iLiad and dr1000 (10"). Their screen is a bit dark and they are quite slow compared do the full size eDGe, but they were great pioneers when they entered the ereaders market. Pretty expensive.
