Mix the world of laptops and tablets, add in some automotive styling and you have the world’s first convertible laptop – the Dell Inspiron Duo.

Teatime Tech: EA Sports Active 2 review roundup, the Advent Vega unboxed and new Acer gadgets galore
The working day is just about done, so kick back before you hit the commute with our roundup of all the latest gadget news. It’s all here for you in your teatime tech!
Well, this is intriguing. Acer Clear.fi was unveiled today at the company’s New York press conference, and it’s a closed off wireless media streaming platform for Acer devices, akin to AirPlay for pushing media around Apple’s iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad and new Apple TV.
Of course, whether Acer has a big enough footprint in mobile and TV media streaming gadgets to make this worthwhile is debatable. Aren’t universal standards the whole point of DLNA? Never mind. Expect the Acer devices unveiled today to all play nice with Acer Clear.fi, though a launch date for the service is unspecified.
There wasn’t just one Acer Android tablet outed at Acer’s press conference today. There were three. As you might have expected from a laptop maker famed for the Taiwanese tactic of releasing millions of slightly altered models with complicated names (or no names) at the same time, they’re all different, and coming out at separate times. Read on and we’ll break down all the details for you.
The Acer Iconia dual screen laptop has just been shown off at Acer’s NY press conference (It looks like the leak from September was spot on), and it’s certainly intriguing. With two 14-inch, 1366×768 screens capable of 10 finger multitouch recognition and no physical keyboard, plus an Intel Core i5 CPU powering it, you could multitask on the move in an entirely new way.
It’s certainly enticing, and Acer says the Acer Iconia will also include support to map your own gesture shortcuts. But sadly, this is a “concept” laptop, meaning Acer has no intention right now of actually shipping the thing. Like all the other dual screen laptops we’ve seen, save the Toshiba Libretto W100. Thanks Acer.
