Pocket eDGe Dualbook Update
Now that I'd used the Dualbook for a few weeks, I have encountered some things that need improvement.
1) The Reader handles image-based PDF files poorly. It is practically not usable because I could not zoom to details and could not scroll by dragging with the stylus as I could do on the Tablet. It works reasonably well with flow-able text documents but user friendly it is not.
2) The Tablet handles PDF files nicely. However, I could not find a way to set the "PDF to Go" as the default when launching a PDF file. I could only press the stylus/finger for a second or so and wait for the options wheel to show and then choose "Open in Tablet." It is a tedious process.
3) When I use the Library to select and save files from a USB stick, the files appear in the Library index. However, the files are not to be found in "Storage" or in "ES File Explorer".
Android 1.6 cripples the device as a media delivery platform. YouTube did not work initially, but is now fixed. However, most Flash based browser content is out of reach. I would not recommend this device to family and friends unless Entourage upgrades the Android version.
