Kyocera and Sprint Now Hyping a Dual-Screen Android Smartphone

Sprint and Kyocera want you to believe that two screens are better than one, even on a pocket-sized phone. The new Android-powered Kyocera smartphone, the Echo, will feature two touchscreen surfaces in a hinged design. The article says: "The Echo’s highlights can be seen in the phone’s obvious multitasking potential. The phone can be operated like most other touchscreen smartphones in its single-screen mode, but in 'Simul-task mode' users can run separate apps on each screen — like, say, open a text on the upper screen while reading an email on the lower one."

meh, if it was a good idea, Apple would have done it. I don't know why slashtards get such a hard-on for dual screen things like this or courier. Probably because you haven't used it. Tell me how awesome it is(n't) after you use it.

I can live with it

You kids don't remember the days when porn came with a couple of creases across it and a staple in the Playmate's navel.

Now stay off my lawn!
