When tablets are warming the market, let’s there be the dual plate: Toshiba W100 (Libretto)

The ultimate innovation in the field of consumer electronic products. I have first seen it in IFA 2010 technology fair at Berlin, Germany. In this innovation Toshiba is making a difference in thinking, like making it touch and dual plate or better to say dual display, palm size, sliding capability, book for reading and lots more. We often think that one screen is not enough to handle all the applications at the same time. Suppose we are watching a movie and at the same time there is a friend online for chatting. So as you don’t want to close the movie and chat with friend, or it’s annoying that instant message window is appearing again and again on your movie picture…….. so just be cool and slide that chat window to one screen and enjoy the movie on the another……….like this you can have a better comfort level with your instant mood and friends……

Toshiba has just made an innovation which will go far with it’s simple connectivity of wireless, seamless synchronization, breakthrough portability and obviously Microsoft’s newly launched windows 7 ultimate performance. Go with it where you want it. Because of its dual screen compatibility it goes a bit thinner with your pocket. It has a Bluetooth connectivity (A2DP, 2.1) also. It has a built in webcam, it has a hot push keyboard button (with a single push your multi-touch gesture keyboard appears, and disappears also), You can rotate the pictures just by holding a corner (remember james bond movie Qantum of Solace, the surface with the touch), you have a hot home button also at either end. It has a Toshiba bar, a clipboard and a shortcut launch bar just like windows….. Now am I confusing you? No, actually one screen will play all the windows activity and other one is the customizable screen, you can do whatsoever with it. Both the displays have the sensor to work horizontally as well as vertically.

However, we can say that open source systems are just making things so portable and light version, so that people can use them so easily and so comfortably………

They are making products specific, like if anyone is so used to with their social networking just give those things near to their hands, and just installed those required softwares or better to say packages what are needed to write things, edit, manage, undo and of course the media drivers…..because without them a PC is nothing………

So they make another specific, strong, portable and comfortable Operating system specially for netbook or laptop users, JoliCloud (Cloud with joy).

Jolicloud comes with an USB creator also. First jolicloud 1.0 comes up with those users who uses netbook because the display size of a netbook is max 11”. It supports that much size. Another cause for bringing it is netbook users maximum uses the word processor for documents, listening music, watching movies doing light works and especially they use internet on the move so they need all the social networking sites and that’s why it comes with a logical chip which connects to the internet very speedily.

So in all netbook users can use this OS for real fun and some serious work with funny environment.
