Quote me:

"Imagine a dual screen laptop, with one 'clean' screen in the
usual place and one multi-touch - replacing the keyboard. That way,
most of the time the touch screen would act as a huge 1:1 scale track
pad. When the need arises it could switch to a virtual keyboard, with
force feedback for touch-typing. Most people only use their keyboards
about 10 percent of the time anyway."

WIll look better when Apple makes one. 'Mac Book Duo' anyone?]]>Jul 10th 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/
is it so hard to type laptop, or better yet, notebook?

seriously...do you use "lappie" when you're talking in public?

do you still have all your teeth?

(I heard Vista is better than Leopard in handwriting recognition) I mean if they are going with dual screen, why even have a virtual keyboard when you can just use your handwriting to write essays, thesis or scientific formulas on the lower screen.

Fast is not the key with writing essays or theses (me thinks) but getting the most out of our valuable time conveying our thoughts is more important. I think with a reliable handwriting software, it's possible to cut time off from typing our drafts by just proofreading what we see. In this way, we can be able to focus more on doing searches on a subject matter, linking relevant websites, or conveying diagrams.

Equation-wise, I would disagree to having both a virtual keyboard in conjunction with a handwriting. I have tried MSWord's insert, object, etc, etc. And it's a pain because typing an equation is much, much slower than writing.

I do have one concern that I have to voice for those in the know. Why does Vista's handwriting software have only one line to write in (as seen in Youtube)? Making sentences can usually take more than two to three lines long!!]]>Jul 12th 2008 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/Jul 10th 2008 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/
Haptics would help by giving you a certain "feel", but it's no substitute for spring-loaded, shock-absorbing, tactile feedback. And with a bunch of typing on that thing, not only would your typing speed drop quite a bit reducing your productivity, your fingertips (or fingernails) would undoubtedly get sore after a while of tapping on a hard screen surface. And talk about a fingerprint magnet!

Although different things could be done with the other screen, it would really take the support of third-party software developers to really put it to use, and that's not gonna happen. Other computer manufacturers would have to hop on board with this type of design for that to even be a consideration, and even then, who knows?

So, although it's interesting to look at, why would anyone want this? Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you should.]]>Jul 10th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/v12-designs-dual-screen-laptop-coming-in-two-years/
