@irav If you're tablet is limited to one thing at a time and mainly consuming content, then I guess 2 screens may be an overkill. However for a tablet running an OS that can multi-tasks and allows you to both create and consume, I can see myself browsing on one screen and while taking notes on another or composing a document or email. Just like on the desktop, 2 screens is better than 1.

Lots of people got excited about courier when we first heard of it, but I believe courier is just an application running on Windows. If this thing actually sold well, how long do you think it would take for a developer to come out with a courier application?

"using one screen to look at data while i make an excel sheet in the other...."

1) Keyboard takes whole screen so you can;t look at your data while typing t the same time.

2) For that kind of work I would use a desktop or 15" laptop with physical keyboard and not a device like this.


"playing a vid on one screen while i research movie info on the other"

Pretty... useless? Why does the vid needs to be playing while researching info? That's just wasting cpu/gpu cycles and batterylife.
