World's First Dual Screen Laptop


I ran across a Web site for the “World’s First Portable Dual Screen Laptop PC” by accident today and thought you might find it interesting. It looks like two LCD displays hinged together. It’s Windows-based and It apparently has no physical keyboard, relying instead on a pop-up onscreen keyboard on one of the screens. The website says it’s to be available by the end of this year, but they are also still looking for “accredited investors”. The company is Estari, Inc.

According to their Web site, there have been some stories in the press about it earlier this year, including a report in Information Week on April 8, 2002.

Not only are two heads better than one, but Estari hopes two screens are, too. By year’s end, the document-management software provider will ship a dual-screen notebook called 2-VU. It will have two 15-inch digital screens and run Windows XP and Estari document-management apps. Users can view two full-page documents simultaneously and write on one while reading the other.
