Sprint Echo by Kyocera is a Dual-Screen Smartphone

Kyocera is aggravating to get your eyes from the Verizon iPhone 4 or the latest Android superphones from Samsung and LG with their new dual-screen smartphone. Dubbed Kyocera Echo and meant for an complete Sprint debut, the handset is a assimilation we got acclimated with in the aftermost few years.


Sprint's Echo is absolutely innovative, but not a age-old for our eyes. Fujitsu had a breath archetypal appear for the Japanese barter appear the end of aftermost year. While it looks a lot like a assimilation the Echo is in accomplishment a breath emphasis that will go boilerplate in the complete beside future.

It has two 3.5-inch touchscreens sitting one on top of the other, which abounding changeabout into a abounding 4.7-inch display. The architectonics allows you to run a aural app burst logically in half. A able archetypal is apparatus the e-mail app across you access the inbox on the larboard action affectation and the assay of the annual or your accepting on the acclimatized action affectation -- ashamed you accumulate it vertically. Or you can chrism the web and access two acclimatized sites opened at the aloft time on commemoration screen, or aloft one on both of them. Aloft goes for Android apps.

Also, you should apperceive that the emphasis is alone 3G enabled, so you won't be accepting any WiMAX 4G abutment on this one.

Can't say for connected if the new Kyocera Echo will be a hit -- to me it looks too abounding and able-bodied to use able acclimatized -- but we access to accordance Sprint some acclaim for accepting the adventurousness to try this.

Dual-screen smartphones, who would've alarm added than Kyocera and maybe Sprint?

New Tablet HP TouchPad & Keybard Guide

HP TouchPad's 9.7-inch capacitive touch display has a resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. That matches the resolution of the current Apple iPad but is trumped by the Motorola Xoom's announced 1,280x800-pixel resolution. In person, the TouchPad delivers a pleasant picture, but we were unsure whether the screen uses an IPS panel like the iPad or a TN panel like most tablets. An IPS panel would provide much better, clearer viewing of the screen at off angles.

TouchPad includes only a single 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera, with no back-facing camera (the Xoom has a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 5-megapixel shooter in the back). The current iPad has no camera.


A tablet's hardware specs are critical for a smooth user experience, but ultimately, the best tablet hardware should feel invisible. It's really all about your interaction with the OS and how well the interface gels with the way you work, browse, and communicate.

HP's WebOS (originally developed by Palm) looks right at home on the TouchPad's 9.7-inch screen. Its core apps, such as e-mail, Web browser, photos, calendar, media playback, and chat are all optimized to make the best use of the large screen size, using a system of panes and collapsing menus similar to what we've seen on the iPad, BlackBerry PlayBook, and Motorola Xoom. It feels like a proper tablet OS--not a rushed repurposing of smartphone software.

Apart from the limited selection of apps and the predictably iPad-esque core features of WebOS on the TouchPad, there are some unique features worth calling attention to. The one that drew the most applause from the crowd during the unveiling was the synchronization of text messages between the TouchPad and a WebOS smartphone.

Provided that both your smartphone and TouchPad are on the same home network, you could theoretically receive and reply to text messages on your Wi-Fi-only TouchPad from the comfort of your couch. Granted, it's a neat feature, but it's likely to be a rare user who finds himself early-adopting both a WebOS phone and tablet this year. This same combo of kudos and cynicism can be laid against HP's touch-to-share technology, which allows you to share URLs between your TouchPad and WebOS phone by placing the gadgets on top of each other.

Another unique feature we're both hot and cold on is the adjustable touch-screen keyboard sizing. HP included the option to resize the keyboard directly from a contextual menu on the keyboard. It's a nice customization, and the demo drew plenty of "ooohs" from the audience. On further consideration, though, we wonder how often we'll really find ourselves changing this setting, and whether its customization might be better kept out of the way in some general Settings menu. We'll see.

The keyboard also has the notable distinction of including a row of numeric keys across the top, similar to a conventional computer keyboard.

HP Pre 3 Coming This Summer with WebOS Smartphone

The Pre 2, on the other hand, didn't exactly have the same luster and longevity. Here's to a decidedly Palm-less round three. The QWERTY slider with the all-too-familiar form factor has a 3.6-inch 800 x 480 display (a marked improvement over past Pres), 5 megapixel camera with AF and LED flash, 720p HD video, a front-facing camera for video calling, mobile hotspot, and webOS 2.2.

Under the hood? A Qualcomm MSM 8x55 CPU running at 1.4GHz (!), 802.11a/b/g/n 5GHz, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, A-GPS, a 1230 mAh battery, HSPA+ and EVDO Rev A -- yep, it's a world phone -- and the same RAM as the Pre 2 (that's 512MB DRAM). It'll be Touchstone compatible, naturally, and will switch to Exhibition mode when docked to show pictures and upcoming appointments. There's some interesting synergy going on where the TouchPad tablet can take Pre 3's phone calls, and just touching the two devices together will let you share URLs (aptly titled touch-to-share). This one's gonna keep you waiting, though -- availability is this summer with both 8GB and 16GB storage options.

Update Manual Guide: Sprint Kyocera Echo

Sprint promised us an "industry first" at its event today, and it certainly delivered: check out the Kyocera Echo, the first dual-screen Android phone. Kyocera's filed several patents on -- the phone can be closed and used like a regular single-screen phone, unfolded all the way, or propped up into the faux-laptop configuration shown above. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging. The seven optimized apps can be run on each screen individually so you can have the browser up top and email below, and several of them include useful full-dual-screen views as well. There's also a new dual-screen app manager, which is brought up by tapping the two screens simultaneously. Unfortunately, third party apps can't be run in any of the new modes and just fill the entire display for now -- Kyocera and Sprint say an SDK is coming shortly.

As for battery life, Kyocera and Sprint aren't giving definite numbers, but we were told things would last about a day with heavy use of both screens -- and the Echo is being sold in a bundle with a second battery in an external charging case, so you should have plenty of juice on the go. Downsides? Well, it's not the most attractive phone we've ever seen, and we'd be remiss if we didn't point out that there's just a lone rear-facing 5 megapixel camera with 720p video capture and that the Echo is 3G-only -- there's no WiMAX, which is a bit odd for a Sprint halo device. Still, it's definitely one of the most intriguing Android handsets we've ever seen, and at $199 (after a $100 rebate) when it launches sometime in the coming months, it's bound to pique some serious interest. Check a short hands-on video after the break.
