Boy that's a lot of glare. They just don't get it do they? Well at least Amazon does.]]>Jan 6th 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/
I know they're trying to capitalize on the Kindle's success,but companies shouldn't be calling these devices "e-readers" if they don't have an e-ink screen. False advertising as far as I'm concerned.

Otherwise it looks pretty nice.]]>Jan 6th 2010 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/agreed]]>Jan 6th 2010 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/
It's not like you're going to read both pages at once, there's no special benefit from that layout, and no reason for an e-reader to do it, except to mimic an ancient technology which it is supposed to be replacing - so no, that's not something e-readers should be "aspiring" to.

How on earth can you look at a dual-touchscreen netbook and find the most exciting possibility to be having both screens full of static text?]]>Jan 7th 2010 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/Absolutely fair enough! Can't say I disagree at all, just a thought I'd been hanging onto for a while and thought I'd voice. As for the,
"How on earth can you look at a dual-touchscreen netbook and find the most exciting possibility to be having both screens full of static text?",
however; I must say that I was viewing this as an e-reader, and not a netbook. Not because I failed to read the article thoroughly, just because of the PR. All of that said, I honestly can't think of an exciting practical use of a dual screen netbook (i.e something this under-powered)

The dual screen doubled it back to sweet status]]>Apr 6th 2010 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/
If its not bad, then this would be a fantastic form factor for pinetrail netbooks running W7, even if the keyboard is mediocre (most netbooks don't have ueber keyboards anyway).]]>Jan 6th 2010 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/

Voice recognition is not a viable replacement for a keyboard for two obvious reasons: first, it requires speaking out loud for everyone around you to hear; and second-of-ly, everyone around you knows exactly what you're "typing".]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/msi-dualscreen-e-reader-hands-on/
