Are you familiar with the concept of Nintendo DS? A foldable device with 2 screens on each folded sides. Well that concept is being taken to Tablet PC some vendors. After Toshiba's Liberetto, now it's Acer's turn. Yes the Tablet PC war is exploding and Acer is the first one to be using a dual screen concept. The Iconia has 2x 14inch touch screens. Yes, that's the same size of your normal 14 inch laptop with the keyboard side replaced by another touch screen. Now typing on the lower part of the screen is not as comfortable than on a keyboard. But you can leave that out because it is not intended to be a laptop anyway. I'd rather like some thin soft keyboard that can be put on top of the lower screen as an option for typing. I would love to see some multitasking with this device, using the double screen at advantage.
Despite itself a tablet PC, the specs are like a usual 14 inch Laptop :
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Intel Core i5-480M / 560M / 580M CPU,
up to 4GB of DDR3 memory,
2 x 14-inch multitouch displays (1366x768 resolution),
Intel HD graphics (128MB RAM),
VGA / HDMI outputs,
microphone and a S/PDIF interface.
320/500/640/750GB hard drive,
Acer's CrystalEye webcam (1280x1024 resolution),
802.11b/g/n WiFi,
Bluetooth 3.0+HS,
integrated 3G WWAN,
gigabit Ethernet,
four-cell battery
weight : 6.18 pounds.
2 USB 2.0 ports, and 1 USB 3.0 jack.

Archos 101 Internet Tablet now on stores
There are more and more choices for you who are chasing for a tablet, and I'm sure there will be more to come. Archos 101 is an Android tablet that deserves your attention. It looks small but it has a 10' screen with 1024 x 600 (1280 x 700 max) resolution. Archos emphasizes on Internet and HD Multimedia on this tablet. The good thing is it's got a USB slave/host, so you can plug in your phone or modem and surf the internet with it. It does not support 3G connection though. One good feature that it has Samba and UpNP protocol so you can play any media that's in your PC on your Tablet through WiFi connection. The HDMI output allows you to display your screen on your TV/Monitor, and maybe play some 3D games as the device is equipped with decent graphics. For the price, I don't know if it is true but the website says for 8GB $299 and the 16GB for $349. Pretty good for budget.
Some featured specs :
- Internal: 8 & 16 GB**** flash
- External: Micro SD Slot (SDHC compatible)
- ARM Cortex A8 at 1 GHz with DSP
- Graphic accelerator: 3D OpenGL ES 2.0
- Webcam
- WiFi, Bluetooth
