dnb Dual also is a dual display, touchscreen netbook

So it's not only MSI who struts around with a dual screen netbook concept. Korea's dnb also has a similar prototype display netbook that uses Samsung screens for the keyboard and regular displays.

The implementation does need a bit of polish since the bottom just looks like an LCD on top of a gutted chassis. The unit hosts two 10" 1024x600 screens, 1.66GHz Atom N280 and Windows XP. It's a true dual display device in that the second screen can be an extension of the first one, kind of like a Nintendo DS in netbook form.

If the second screen ran a power-sipping Pixel-Qi screen, that would be more impressive since this dual display configuration will surely suck a lot of juice out of a netbook. I hope they do put in a lot of research into this since more screen real estate is better as long as it doesn't compromise in other areas.
