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.....

Power and simplicity?

From www.dualscreen.com:

the 2-VU combines the power of a computer with the simplicity of a book

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.

Stealth marketing research?

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...
