What’s Next in Gadgets
E-mail can be read only when a laptop is open, right? Microsoft’s proposed solution is SideShow. Laptop makers are planning to design small screens on the outer body so you can read incoming messages or choose music without opening the case. SideShow will be supported by the Windows Vista operating system, launching this year.
Fly coach, and the dream of watching movies on your laptop quickly fades, thanks to the reclining seat in front of you. Intel’s new laptop design lets you pull the screen forward from behind the keyboard and even raise the screen to eye level. Elements of the design may appear this year in laptops priced at $1,100 and higher made by Intel partners.
