Cell Phone Rebates an Ongoing Problem
This coming week I will have waited more than 200 days (more than six months) for my $100 Motorola Droid rebate from Verizon. I bought this phone in late December 2009, and submitted the rebate request on January 10, 2010. Verizon acknowledges that they received the rebate request, but they have not managed to send me a usable rebate yet. I did receive a rebate money card from them, but this card could not be redeemed because I received the card after Verizon had canceled it as a nonreceived money card. The replacement card, promised to me about three weeks ago, has yet to show up.

Entourage Edge
The Entourage Edge looks like a bright red notebook PC until you flip it open to reveal its true, dual-screen colors. On one side is an oversize, touch-enabled E-Ink digital paper display, and on the other side, a bright touchscreen LCD from which you can runs apps, including e-mail and a browser via built-in Wi-Fi (or an optional broadband connection using the Edge's SIM card slot).
