Microsoft Thinks the Dual-Screen Smartphone

For Microsoft, the mobile phone of the future has two detachable touch screen. The giant has patented his idea. Microsoft has obtained the intellectual property rights on a patent filed in late 2009, which informs us that the software giant is working on interfaces adapted to smartphones with two screens. Two screens that could even be detached from each other and communicate wireless.

Getting around an airport using a digital map while receiving a video call on the other side of the smartphone becomes possible. This is obviously very conceptual and it will take a lot of trick for engineers to fully exploit such technologies if they materialize one day. Seeing Microsoft patent such ideas leaves at least think they could have a future.
