Multi-head Meets the Laptop
PARENA writes: "Estari comes with a Dual-Screen Laptop! "A what?!" Yes: Dual-Screen. In fact, they are 2 15" TOUCH screens. According to TwoMobile: 'Unlike electronic tablets, the 2-VU(TM) allows users to view two full-page files or documents simultaneously. Users can page through two books at once, or take handwritten notes in a notebook on one screen while paging through a book on the other screen.' Sounds pretty cool!"
when you see someone holding this laptop sideways it means one thing......
they're on Playboy dot com, checking out the centerfold, the way they were meant to be checked out!
:)
Cool device though.....
Sehr geehrter Toilettenbenutzer!
First reaction from our CEO: where can I download this?
no sig error.
So it doesn't need batteries, then, and boots instantly? Cool!
I know, I just wanted to be a jackass. Ones that would make it practical are expensive too.
What?
We could call it "Slashdot Vapor Extermination, Inc." Everyday, we would take a different piece of cool-sounding vaporware that gets reported on Slashdot's front page, and then produce it before the original company puts out the press release saying they've had "implementation difficulties" (they weren't smart enough to figure it out) or "that was a concept never destined for production" (we just wanted to tease you so you'd read our press releases).
So, what will it be? A multi-processor quantum teleported dual monitor touchscreen e-ink notebook with a fuel cell running Duke Nukem Forever anyone?
My favorite quote from the article: "This format for printed publications is widely accepted, based on a study of 30 centuries of graphic design and consumer testing." Wow, those Pheonecians were really ahead of the curve. Graphic design and consumer testing? Do you recall anyone surveying you after you read a book? Also, you'd think a 3,000 year old marketing program could produce results a little earlier then Q3 2002. Someone better fire the exec who started the program. Of course, they might have to dig him up first...

From the specs: "AnyKey - External User-Assignable "ENTER" Key" Finally, we will be able to hit the AnyKey!

Anyone notice it has pictures of three rings on each lcd? Just in case a confused reader isn't confused as to the functionality of this device.
