Newly developed Kno tablet set for release by year-end 2010

Dual-screen tablets, such as the Kno, generally garner more enthusiasm than their single-screen counterparts. The Kno tablet, unveiled at the D8 show this year, has stirred public curiosity since its debut. The road for dual-screen tablets, however, hasn't always been smooth.

The Kno tablet, with its unique dual-screen format, has captured the attention of tech enthusiasts. The company behind the device has announced that the dual-screen version will be up for pre-order later this year, with a year-end launch planned.

While the exact price of the dual-screen version remains undisclosed, it is expected to fall below the $1000 mark, making it a more affordable option compared to other dual-screen tablets that have been released or failed to gain traction. The single-screen version of the Kno tablet, on the other hand, will resemble the iPad and other popular tablet devices, but its price has yet to be announced.

The Kno tablet is designed with education in mind, serving as a resource for digital books and course materials. The dual-screen version, with its additional features, will be positioned in a higher price bracket, catering to those willing to pay more for a more advanced device.

The decision to produce a single-screen version of the Kno tablet is likely to allow for a lower price point, making it more accessible to a wider audience. This version will feature a 14.1-inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels, but will not have the twin screen format.

It's worth noting that the market for dual-screen tablets is a crowded one. Only one other dual-screen tablet, the Libretto W100 from Toshiba, has been released, while others, such as the Courier from Microsoft, have been abandoned. The Kno tablet's success will depend on its ability to offer a unique and valuable user experience.

In the end, the Kno tablet promises to be an exciting addition to the world of tablets, offering a dual-screen option for those willing to pay a premium, and a more affordable single-screen version for the masses. Whether it will be able to carve out a niche for itself in the competitive tablet market remains to be seen.
