Articles about dual screen

At the same conference where it announced the Tablet S [read review here] at IFA Berlin, Sony also presented the dual screen Tablet P model, previously known as Sony S2. No review units were send to the press, so we'll have to make do with the hands on previews posted from the event by press members.I'm not going to repeat what I've said about the Sony Tablet S today, so I'm planning to focus on the differences between the two and the dual screen functionality of the Tablet P. The Sony Servi...

One sub-niche of tablets that seems to get much attention those days is the one covered by dual-screen devices like the Entourage Edge last year, the Kno and Sony S2 this year. Why I say this micro niche is catching momentum is because Imerj just presented their Smartpad prototype, essentially a dual 4 inch Android smartphone running 2.3 Gingerbread with a few customizations added on top of the default UI to make apps take advantage of the additional display.If you want to superficially cha...

If you want your tablet to stand out from the crowd there's no better option than the Sony S2, a dual screen (2 x 5.5 inches with 1024 x 480 pixel resolution) Android Honeycomb model that just passed FCC checkings. What that means is you'll soon be able to get one, as the hardware is quite ready (that's what FCC tests) and all Sony has to do right now is get the software ready. And I belive Sony has some work to do, as adding a second screen means work to make the Android Honeycomb, meant for si...

You remember the Acer Iconia dual screen laptop? The one announced with other Acer tablets that are still not on market till this day? Apparently Acer was more successful at bringing their dual screen monster in stores, as you can now pre-order it in US and Canada from Amazon.com.The price is pretty high, as expected, at $1200 plus taxes, but considering you're getting very powerful hardware and two 14 inch screen I guess it's a good investment for an early adopter. And unlike the Toshiba Li...

I've always liked bold companies that throw at us interesting concepts, even if they don't know yet if they're going to mass produce them. That's actually the idea, to test consumers reaction getting as much feedback as possible, not using a closed brainstorming session to decide upon a product's future. MSI is not usually one such bold company, but in the case of Dual Pad, a concept introduced at CeBIT, I have to say I'm a little bit intrigued.Let me just tell you about Dual Pad: it's simpl...

Acer really made an impression when it announced three tablets, a netvertible and a dual screen laptop a few weeks ago. Now we do have a few details about the Acer Iconia dual screen laptop, which will go on sale in Europe, in Spain, in January. You won't like what we've found out about this 14 inch dual screen laptop: it's going to be expensive, very expensive, at 1499EUR (almost 2000 dollars).It's true you get a high end configuration with a Core i5 CPU, 4 GB RAM, up to 750 GB hard drive, ...

This year we've covered quite a few dual screen tablets and concepts such as the Entourage Edge Android tablet + eInk eReader, all in one package. Even if the 10 inch model didn't seem to impress the audience too much Entourage decided to launch a smaller version, that uses 7 inch (color touchscreen) and 6 inch (eInk) screens, which is cheaper at around 370 bucks and it's called Entourage Pocket Edge.The new device promises to solve part of the problems of its bigger brother, the Edge, plus ...

One of the brands that failed to deliver a tablet this year is Acer. Sure they've talked about them, but they're not here, and this is what matters after all. Apparently Acer didn't want to leave things like this and today announced in a large press event it's plans for the tablet market, plans that will start next years, once they'll begin shipping of the products presented today. And let me tell you, there's plenty to talk about, as Acer announced three tablets, with 5, 7 and 10 inch diagonal ...

What's best than a tablet? Two tablets, of course! This seems to be the idea guiding Mintpass, a Korean company that is working on bringing to market a world premiere: dual screen dual boot OS tablet. We know the world has seen a dual screen tablet (Toshiba Libretto W100) and a dual boot tablet (Viewsonic ViewPad 10), but Mintpass's model is a premiere because it features both.Don't imagine that Mintpass tablet will be able to run one OS on each screen. That would be another premiere, reserv...

I don't know if you remember the KNO, a daring dual screen tablet with two 14 inch capacitive touchscreens (here's the link to refresh your memory). It was an interesting project, a concept if you will, that now has the opportunity to come to market before end year thanks to 46 millions dollars received in funding from venture capital firm Marc Andreessen.That surely is good news for KNO, and also for us, as I can see myself with a dual screen tablet (not that big, maybe using 10 inch screen...
