Kohjinsha, the japanese laptop manufacturer is selling dual screen laptops for Christmas retailing at a reasonable price of $900 to $1100 depending on various press releases on the product. While dual screen machines aren't a latest innovation, Kohjinsha appears to have gotten the industrial design right on this one beating out pricier and more prestigious brands like Lenovo. The youtube video can be seen here:
One wonders if dual screen mobile devices will soon appear on the market. One of the biggest uses of a dual screen at work has been to run multiple sessions and operating systems and drag and drop across seamlessly.

These appear much better than the clam shell dual screen ones that companies like Samsung tried to prototype.
Perhaps the world is ready for an i-phone like dual screen device that allows interesting gaming/social networking/social context app to be released.
