The guys over at wow-pow.com managed to get hold of a Kohjinsha DX dual screen netbook for review. The full review hasn’t been completed yet although they say it will be ready in the next 24 hours or so. For now, they just go through a quick unboxing and then give a demo of how the dual screen opens up.

When opened the screens lay flush with each other giving a continuous smooth surface to work with. Also the screen is attached like a tablet PC and can be rotated around and folded back although neither of the two screens are touchscreen. For controlling the DX in tablet mode a couple of mouse buttons have been included on the edge of the screen along with an optical mouse and finger print reader. [Read more…]

When working on a netbook you often run in to the problem of not having enough screen estate. To tackle this problem a company have created a dual-screen netbook that allows you to view two 10.1 inch screens side by side that then slide one behind the other when not needed. By giving you an extra screen you get more screen estate, thus making your work on a netbook a little more productive.

Examples of usage could be putting an Excel spreadsheet on the left screen while taking notes on the right screen, or perhaps browsing on one screen while watching a video on the second.

The netbook doesn’t look as flimsy as I expected from what I see in the video and actually seems to work quite well. It is unclear what battery life will be like on a dual screen netbook but if they can get that to be an acceptable level this thing “could” sell. [Read more…]

Microsoft Courier is dual screen booklet device that is in the late stages of development. Looking at the video below you will see it’s actually a very cool looking device that aims to make your working and personal life a lot easier.

The Microsoft Courier has what looks to be 2x 7″ screens that are both multi-touch and work together to form 1 large screen, or 2 separate work spaces. It is designed to be used with a stylus and finger so that you can flick things from one screen to another while using the pen to write with. The video presentation shows a journal being created, shared and task lists being written out.

Statuses, like wireless signal and battery life, are displayed along the rim of one of the screens. On the back cover is a camera, and it might charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone charging dock for Pre.

gScreen have released real photos of their Spacebook dual screened laptop. This laptop has 2 15.4 inch screens although the first released versions will have 2 x 16″ or 2 x 17″ displays built in. When folded up, one of the screens slides behind the other with a unique sliding mechanism.

“We designed this knowing that many may not need the extra screen at all times,” Gordon told me. But when you do use both screens you’ll get about 30-inches of screen space. GScreen plans to release dual 13-inch models at some point.
