The half ereader\/half netbook from enTourage eDGe<\/a> was one of the best gadgets CES threw up in my opinion. While the sale date<\/a> has been pushed back by a month to March, some more details have been drip-fed to us.<\/p>\n

In an interview with e-reader-info, enTourage’s President and CEO Asghar Mostafa detailed when the two different displays could be used together:<\/p>\n

\n

* Drag the stylus across grayscale images on the E-Ink screen to view them in color on the LCD screen
\n* Attach Web pages, notes and video on the WiFi-enabled LCD screen to passages in an e-book
\n* Export PDF notes or revised documents (such as contracts that are marked up on the E-Ink side) so that they can be emailed to colleagues
\n* Open hyperlinks or view video embedded in an e-textbook on the netbook side<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tackling the omnipresent iPad issue, Mostafa fingered the larger e-ink screen that “offers a comfortable reading experience,” and because of the LCD screen it makes it “simple to mark-up documents and books with the stylus to save notes or export to colleagues.”<\/p>\n

At $490 though, it’ll be going head on with the iPad, so enTourage has got a tough ride convincing people to go for a chunky, clunky, plastic device rather than a sleek iPad. During my hands-on at CES<\/a> I felt it was the build quality which was the only downside to it, but there’s enough features and capabilities tucked within that it should do well. I want it to do welI, anyway—I fell in love with it last month and have the slightly zany device’s best interests at heart. [e-reader-info<\/a>]<\/p>\n
