3G Android laptop and dual-screen Windows tablet coming from Toshiba

Toshiba is celebrating 25 years of laptop production by announcing some innovative new products that'll arrive later this year. The forthcoming Toshiba AC100 has an ultra-slim laptop form with a 10-inch screen but runs the Android operating system. It promises up to 8 hours battery life (or a week on 'standby'). A WiFi-only version is due in August, with a a 3G-equipped model expected to follow.

Toshiba Libretto W100At first glance the Libretto W100 also looks like a netbook with a 7-inch screen, although it's actually a dual-screen device. The second screen can be used as a virtual keyboard… or, if the device is used vertically, can be read like a book. This is described as "the world’s first dual touchscreen Windows 7 device" and will be available from 'late summer'. There'll be two versions; WiFi-only and 3G + WiFi. Battery life is 3½ hours.

How to deal in mobile phone contracts without selling the phones

Adam Taylor writes:

The mobile phone industry is an attractive proposition. Over 90% of the UK population has a mobile, and the seemingly non-stop developments in mobile technology are doing a great job in satisfying the UK’s thirst for anything that provides a quicker, more efficient (or in some cases, more fun) way of doing things. With such a demand, naturally supply tends to follow.
