According to Engadget and E-Reader-Info, the Edge, originally set to be released in February for $490, has been pushed back to March and the price increased by $9 to $499.
If things go as planned I’ll be meeting with their VP of Marketing at TOC and, hopefully, will be able to give you a hands-on report about the unit.
Update: Entourage saw this post and let me know that the $9 increase is because of the inclusion of Documents to Go software. In regards to shipping, pre-orders made before January 12 will go out late next week, with additional shipments following in March.
