Toshiba proved once again it's the kind of company that sets trends, don't follow them, with the official announcement of the Libretto W100 dual screen touch tablet with two 7 inch multi touch enabled displays. We know now that the Libretto W100 is not a concept, but a consumer product you'll be able to actually buy starting August, from Amazon, for around 1000$. That's a little bit too much for a laptop with an ULV CPU and a second screen, but that's the price to pay for being an early adopter....

It's not the first time we're talking here about dual screen tablets, mostly prototypes. Now it's time to take a look at the Toshiba Libretto W100, the first official product that's going up for sale. Libretto W100 was announced at the 25th Toshiba anniversary and is really a product to look forward to if you're an early adopter.It's not perfect, far from it, but it offers features that appeal to tech geeks like the dual 7 inch screen, very low weight (1.8 pounds with battery) and a fully fl...

It's not the first time we talk about Toshiba's intentions to launch a touch tablet this year, but it's the first time we know a little bit more like the fact it's coming this month, with a big surprise: it's a dual screen 7 inch tablet running Windows on a Tegra chipset.That's more than we could hope: a big manufacturer, known for its innovation, producing a dual screen tablet. That's something we must see for ourselves before we get to conclusions. There are things to consider like pricing...

If you look at the tablet pc news this year and then take a peak in stores you'll see that many of the models presented are not available yet. This has to do with the fact that the first generation of a product is always hard to get right. And because the stakes are high, as always, manufacturers want to ensure they get on market a product that won't break in the first days of use.What strikes me is that some manufacturers are taking higher risks, putting things like dual screens into their ...

Sony is one of the big names of the IT industry that has yet to come up with an official tablet announcement. They told the press a while ago that they're watching closely the tablet market, but still no actual product was presented (or leaked for that matter). Today we know that Sony has filed a patent application for a dual screen tablet, called "electronic book with enhanced features". Don't jump from your chair: this doesn't necessarily that the patent will lead to an actual product, but you...

One sad day for all you touch tablet fans: Microsoft killed the Courier dual screen tablet concept and HP did the same with its Slate project. It's like the two talked between each other and reached the same conclusion, that the two projects are not worth pursuing anymore. It's a sad day because Courier was really an interesting concept that might have had an actual use and would have propelled Microsoft as a company that can think outside the box for one instance, if they want to. I guess corpo...

Remember when we've talked about the Microsoft Courier concept, a dual screen tablet that features an innovative interface which takes advantage of the two displays? Well, it seems that Microsoft is really dedicated to bring this device to market sometime in 2011, an employee told New York Times.Of course that's more like a rumor about a rumor, but that doesn't mean it can't come true. If the device is half what they've presented in a video of the Courier concept I'll buy two of them.One...

We've wrote quite a few posts about the Entourage eDGe dual screen eReader + Android tablet combo. It seems that more and more samples are getting to press for review. Now it's time for CNET to get their hands on video treatment on the Entourage eDGe.After watching that video I can positively say that the eDGe is a nice concept, especially for educational purposes, there's a lot to be improved here, but that's always the case with the first generation of innovative new products. The eDGe sel...

Covering CES 2010 early this year I was surprised by the amount of dual screen netbooks and hybrid devices small producers tried to push into market to see customer's reaction. Entrourage eDGe is one such product featuring a dual screen design, one 9.7 inch eInk screen and 10.1 color LCD, both powered by Android OS and an 1.2 GHz CPU.Laptopmag is the first to post an early review of the Entourage eDGe and shared their opinions with all of us, so here's what you can expect from this nice conc...

Dual screen tablet prototypes have been shown during CES 2010 by a lot of small manufacturers eager to differentiate themselves from big names by doing something utterly different. Astri was one of them with their MyID eInk + touchscreen combo. I'm glad they managed to catch attention of investors as they've just announced the MyID will soon hit production. What's so important is the price: 65 $ for materials and manufacturing, which translates in 150$ max as retail price, a bargain considerin...
