The DualScreen laptop

Its not  ASUS who won't be the only Taiwanese manufacturer whipping out new tablets at Computex, and MSI will be joining the party with its Android and Windows 7 touchscreen devices. According to the company, the tablets will come in 8.9- and 10-inch varieties, and will ship sometime in the third quarter. We can't promise you big M's Tegra 2 and Atom-powered slates will be all that different from what we've been seeing from the others out there, but we are told the pricing will be "extremely aggressive."

It’s also being reported that their dual-screen Android device – much like what’s described in HTC’s patent – is being delayed until Q4. Technically, the tablet is as solid as they’ll get except for one huge drawback: battery life vanishes right before your eyes. Obviously, two screens are going to suck up twice as much battery life (that’s flawed logic, by the way, but we’ll go with it) so they’re going to have to figure out something to make it work.

That's intriguing, but unfortunately, that awesome dualscreen tablet we saw at CES is farther behind. According to MSI's Andy Tung, the hardware implementation is the reason for the delay as the Atom-based tablet is not providing adequate endurance. "The two screens are a major drain on the battery, and even with a higher density battery and the Menlow CPU we are only getting three hours," he said. It looks like we will be waiting until the fourth quarter to get some two screen action, though we guess we could always pick up an Android and Win 7 slate and tape 'em together.
