The Entourage Edge (even I can’t bring myself to use their suggested inTerCaps) is dead, with the service being discontinued 2 days ago. The official announcement begins: The enTourage eDGe store has closed as of 05/21/2011. We appreciate all of our customers and want you to enjoy your enTourage eDGe for the foreseeable future. The dual-screened tablet-like device always seemed like a doomed project to me, but it’s sad to see choice go out of the market.

On Woot.com today, there’s a sale on the Amazon Kindle 2nd Gen eReader with 3G for the lowest price I’ve seen: $89.99. It is last-generation hardware (the screen is ever-so-slightly not as good as the newest Kindle) but for $89 and free 3G, this is a steal.
