Two is better..!

I mean a dual touch panel concept laptop functioning as a regular notebook with a resizeable virtual keyboard and touchpad, a multimedia hub, where both display panels form a larger display for watching a movie, or an e-book where one could hold the dual panel concept notebook just like they would a book.




ASUS is previewing an all-touch based “Community Designed PC” called the dual panel concept notebook. ASUS showed off at Germany’s CeBit. The notebook is the result of the ideas contributed from users on their Web portal.





Remind me the other two concepts of the OLPC XO 2.0




and V12’s Canova

Way back in September of 2006, Google.org, the philanthropic part of the Internet giant, announced that it would be investing in PHEVs.

In July 2008, Google.org’s was invested in the electric vehicle maker Aptera Motors. An engineer with Google.org’s RechargeIT green car program said that Google is interested in Aptera because its vehicles go “to the extreme of high-efficiency,” and are overall “cool,” and “modern.”

And after 8 months... The result is the Aptera 2e!

The 4,000 cars already ordered are expected to be delivered in the following eighteen months, the first of which by November 2009. Following that, around 10,000 of the cars will be produced each year – increasing to 100,000 if demand continues. The Aptera ranges in price from £18,000-£28,000 depending on whether an electric, hybrid or petrol engine is specified.

"MA"iPhone like.. MyPhone

-


It looks like Microsoft is back in the game of Mobile phones with the new version of Windows Mobile 6.5, a big deal with LG and the support of the big manufacturers LG, HTC, Samsung. The new OS takes cues directly from the iPhone.It has “an improved touch-screen interface, making it easy to take action with a finger”.









Microsoft also unveiled its new My Phone service, which essentially lets you sync your messages, photos and videos, contacts to the online cloud syncing service, similar to Apple’s MobileMe service. Microsoft My Phone will also allow you to easily backup and restore your entire Windows Mobile device.




Microsoft hoping that My Phone over-the-air syncing service was going to be Mobile Me for WinMo. The My Phone service is based on technology from Mobicomp, a company Microsoft acquired last June.


The effort is good, but there is great competition with the announcements of other manufacturers for Android phones..Let's see!
