The World's First Four-Screen Laptop

Barence writes "Intel has stunned visitors at IDF by showing off the world's first four-screen laptop. The oddly-named 'Tangent Bay' has three miniature touchscreens set horizontally into the case below the main, full-sized panel. It is a fully functional prototype: delegates were able to scroll photos around the touchscreens by swiping with a finger. The idea smacked a little too much of the ill-fated Vista SideShow." Seems strange that they would put the screens above the keyboard. I think embedding an iPhone type touchscreen in place of the trackpad would be a far more useful thing.

Re:access to multiple desktops

I don't know 'bout you but CTRL+ALT+arrow-keys (or Win+arrow-keys) seems a little easier to me, especially to quickly cycle between more than 3 desktops.
