Dual Screen Functionality
The dual displays on the device work together providing the ability to flip webpages over from the LCD to the E Ink for easier reading and annotation. This unique feature is particularly useful for students and professionals who need to read and take notes simultaneously. The E Ink display is gentle on the eyes, making it ideal for long reading sessions, while the LCD screen offers vibrant colors and a responsive touch interface for interactive tasks. All made available by tweaks by Entourage to the Android operating system. Have a look and our article on Android vs iPhone to see which smartphone and mobile platform is best for you.
Additional Features and Benefits
The Entourage Pocket eDGe is not just about its dual screens. It also comes with a suite of applications designed to enhance productivity. The device supports various file formats, including PDF and ePub, making it a versatile tool for reading and editing documents. The integrated 802.11 b/g WiFi ensures that you can stay connected to the internet, whether you’re at home, in the office, or on the go.
The two megapixel camera, while not the highest resolution by today’s standards, is sufficient for basic photography needs and video conferencing. The optical trackball provides an alternative navigation method, which can be particularly useful when precision is required. Additionally, the device’s embedded Linux system offers a stable and secure environment for running applications.
One of the standout features of the Entourage Pocket eDGe is its ability to run Android 1.6. While this may seem outdated compared to modern versions of Android, it is optimized for the device’s hardware and provides a smooth user experience. The Android operating system also means access to a wide range of apps available on the Google Play Store, further extending the device’s functionality.
For those who are environmentally conscious, the E Ink display is energy-efficient, consuming power only when the screen is refreshed. This means that the device can last longer on a single charge compared to traditional LCD-only devices. The combination of E Ink and LCD also allows for a more versatile user experience, catering to different needs and preferences.
