"EGIL is eagerly anticipating the upcoming arrival of an upgraded edition of The Edge loaded with special features. The enhanced version includes a back-lit keyboard, razor like keyboard, USB port, a sleek new design, a thinner design, and an exterior window for a clock."

As per my earlier post, that is in fact Pocketsurfer2 as well as EdgePC. Notice the "upcoming arrival" bit. Not a word about when, how many of that big order or any pre-sold backlog numbers. Nor expected number of units available for sale at Orlando convention.

I have no doubt the devices will eventually start to dribble out. But the agony of it all....when dealing in secrecy!

Exclusivity means they are the only company licensed to sell the devise in certain markets, at the exclusion of all others, as agreed to in the contract with Datawind. There is no fee attached to the exclusivity except that required to be paid by the licensee (EdgeTech) for that right. They however may in turn charge any monthly fee they can get away with from the subscriber for use of the device (like on your cell phone).
