April 16th, 2011 · 16 Comments · opinion

The Entourage Pocket Edge has been on sale this past week on Amazon for half off, and I can never resist a sale. So I bought one. This is Entourage’s second, smaller dual screen netbook with 6″ E-ink screen and a 7″ LCd screen. It’s a lot smaller and light than the original and yet [...]

Review: Sony Touch Edition, Pocket Edition (PRS-350, PRS-650)

November 28th, 2010 · 8 Comments · hardware reviews

October 21st, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware reviews, video

Ereaders.nl just posted a Youtube video with the first hands on demo of the Pocket Edge. It’s in Dutch, of course. Yes, they did beat me to it. But TBH, I didn’t try to get a video. The hardware is interesting, but it has all the same abilities as the larger version.

A friend tipped me to this photo from Yahoo News this morning. Apparently a couple weeks ago the Governor of California toured the Marvell headquarters. And of course he was accompanied by the press.
