Saw this cool black-colored BenQ FP241W widescreen LCD monitor last week during the Intel Compuvaganza event, and I love it. Unfortunately, while I was reading the brochure and thinking to replace my old monitor with this display, right in front of my eyes, someone bought the last displayed unit. Ouch.

Anyway, priced at Rp 12.420.000 (around US$ 1,380), FP241W LCD monitor features a native resolution of 1920×1200, a contrast ratio of 600:1, a brightness of 300 nits, a viewing angle of 178 degrees, and a response time of 6ms.

It might look ugly, but I’ve dreamt about this kind of cell phone for a long time. Created by Seok Hong Jeong, a Korean inventor, this phone prototype comes with twin colors display beside one another. It supposedly use some kind of sliding mechanism, wherein the top screen can slide halfway to the left and the bottom screen halfway to the right, effectively producing side-by-side displays. According to the inventor, the idea of dual-display cell phone is “specifically designed to optimize mobile internet services for a wide-ranging variety of multimedia contents. In effect, you have a portrait display for all your regular cell phone needs, but a widescreen landscape for mobile surfing.”

This cool concept was recently revealed during the Seoul International Invention Fair 2006 exhibition. Seok Hong Jeong himself is now currently waiting for the approval of the patent he already applied for the prototype. He hopes to cooperate with existing cell phone makers and service providers to turn his idea into a reality.

Apparently, NEC thinks that people hate pressing the small button on their phone. And so, that’s why the company came up with a brilliant idea — make a buttonless cell phone. The result can be seen at NEC’s booth at ITU Telecom World 2006 event. The new N6206 (also dubbed as N908) handset ‘forces’ the users to get used to its touchscreen interface, ’cause that’s where all the device functionalities can be controlled, including receive/make phone call, launch music player, turn on/off Bluetooth connectivity, display picture, and much more.

On the specs department, NEC N6206 cell phone features a 2.2-inch 260K colors LCD display, microSD card slot, built-in camera module with separate shutter button, handwriting recognition, email, and scheduler app. You can use the phone for up to 150 minutes of talktime or up to 150 hours of standby time.

On Toshiba’s booth at ITU Communication Show 2006 in Hong Kong, you can find its latest cell phone, Toshiba TS32.

Standard features such as SMS, MMS, email, and WAP 2.0 are also included.

If the GoVideo Dual-Screen display from SOYO already impress you, then wait until you check out the Tenbuno. Shown off by Woojin Inc. during the Next Generation Computing Show (NGCS) 2006 event, Tenbuno is an output device with two embedded LCD monitor, each with a different size — the primary display has 19-inch width, while the secondary, placed on top, has 8.4-inch widht. This is different than GoVideo which both screens have the same width and they are positioned side-by-side.

Honestly, since the sub-screen is placed on top of the main display, I think it’s rather hard to see the content of the secondary display. Especially since it’s small. But at least one can use this Tenbuno Dual-Screen LCD monitor to work on their document and watch TV simultatenously for example. I’m not really sure about the detail features and specs, but I guess it would be cool if users can also switch the content between each display.
