Good eReader reports that Entourage has shut down the content store for its Edge dual-screened clamshell e-ink/LCD hybrid e-reader/tablet, and is discontinuing the production of its second-generation Pocket Edge tablet. Perhaps ahead of its time, the tablet was handicapped by a somewhat awkward form factor and an outdated Android 1.6 environment that was incapable of supporting Flash or other modern features.
Earlier this month, the Edge hit Woot for $150, a substantial discount over its $400 list price, so perhaps the writing was on the wall. Good eReader reports Entourage is rumored to be working on a “Slate” tablet, and the word “Slate” usually applies to devices that run some version of Windows.
