Proving that the third time really is the charm is Mobile Intelligent Ubiquitous (MIU) Technology's third incarnation of its Hybrid Dual Portable Computer (HDPC), which offended our eyes
when it first stepped out in public two years ago but actually looks quite stylish (albeit a tad rendered) now. Details have always been a bit vague on what exactly warrants the "dual" in its name, but the latest set of product pages and "MIU Notices" contain enough information to put together a clearer picture of what the HDPC is all about.
It turns out that the D in HDPC is incredibly well deserved because the device has two screens, two processors, and two operating systems.
The 4.1-inch screen (800 x 480, TFT) may look like a typical slide-and-tilt display (similar to the AT&T Tilt, HTC Shift, or Willcom D4), but it actually goes one step further by flipping over to reveal a 2.4-inch screen (320 x 240, AMOLED) set above a keypad. You can see the screen sliding, tilting, and flipping in this video of what the HDPC used to looked like.
