EnTourage eDGe Reader Shows Off Its Software

By Dena Cassella December 7, 2009

Tired of all this e-Reader news? We aren’t either and we’re pretty excited about this netbook/e-reader lovechild, the enTourage eDGe. The dual-screened enTourage eDGe, sporting a potent Armada PXA168 processor as its main powerhouse, still hasn’t had a public hands-on and we haven’t seen many demos—until now. The netbook/e-Reader hybrid was captured by netbooknews.com in this detailed hands-on with the software e-Ink side of the eDGe. The enTourage eDGe e-reader features 1200 x 825 pixel screens and uses e-Inktechnology, which lets you take notes right on the book or enter drawings with the stylus or text. The eDGe also lets you save your notes and journals, which can read both ePub files and PDFs, so you can email them to friends or classmates.

The netbook functionality, using Google’s Android operating system, comes with web browsing, audio/video record and playback, an email function and contacts list, a calculator, an alarm clock, and a library function to manage your books and files.

Check out this hands-on video.

Video shows Google Pixel 4 in all its glory weeks ahead of launch

5 features i want to see in the google pixel 4

We've already seen a ton of leaks related to the Google Pixel 4, so there was little left to the imagination. What little that was left, however, is now gone as some users seem to have gotten their hands on the Pixel 4 and published a video on YouTube showing the device in all its glory.

One leak comes from Vietnamese channel AnhEm TV, and shows a ton of footage of the device in full use. Most of what we can see has been seen before, but the video pretty much confirms the Google Pixel 4's design and gives us a look at the settings and specs -- including the Snapdragon 855 and a 1,440p display.

New leak shows off Samsung’s One UI 2.0 — and it’s built on Android 10

Samsung One UI

Android 10 is on the way, and is expected to be released to the public in the near future. Samsung traditionally hasn't been known for adopting new Android versions right away -- but it looks like that could change with Android 10. Why? A new leak shows off Samsung's One UI 2.0, and it's built on Android 10.

Notably, the leak shows off the use of Android 10's new gesture-based navigation system -- essentially meaning that Samsung has done away with the traditional navigation buttons, which it has held on to so far. This is good news for Google too -- as it ensures some consistency between how users control different Android devices.

Why you should buy the Babbel lifetime subscription
