We fully understand how hard it's going to be for anything to top this in terms of handheld sexiness, but Edgetech International must be using a design team stuck in the early '90s, and a marketing squad not too far removed from the
Phantom confines. The firm's latest handheld, simply dubbed The Edge, is a smallish portable
internet machine that bears striking resemblance to a old fashioned pocket organizer, and reportedly provides true wireless internet all the time. Claimed to be "non-carrier specific," Edgetech doesn't exactly expound upon how its fliptop machine can consistently pull in internet access from anywhere, and doesn't even feel the need to describe the specs for us. Nevertheless, we do know that it can purportedly enable subscribers to "conduct a wide variety of e-mail and voice mail options, all by voice command." The strangely mysterious device reportedly comes with a $200 pricetag, while the wireless connectivity runs you around $50 per month, but until our current selection of
smartphones forget how to access those 2.5G, 3G, and 4G networks, we're good.

Too funny: Error...this page cannot be displayed. We offer ubiquitous, always-on internet connectivity. Of course, always-on is a relative term.

What do Adam, Larry, and Bono think about this side-venture?
This looks and sounds like a PocketSurfer, not new at all. I think they just changed the name. I've had one for at least 3 years myself.
lol @ 404
i kind of feel sorry for these guys at edgetech. hopefully this is some sort of joke they are pulling on us.
Looks similar to the Pocket Surfer from Datawind:

Bummer of a release date. Jobs' iPhone was "unveiled," The Edge: not so much.
My Jornada 720 does the same thing. It is over 6 years old.
