Kno has called their upcoming single-screen tablet the “world’s first” tablet textbook. How on earth did they missed out the iPad and e-Books, I’m not sure as well. Plain ignorant? Anyway, both devices, the dual-screen tablet and single-screen tablet, will be released on a late 2010 date. The device would be a single 14.1-inch capacitive IPS display with presumably 1440 x 900 resolutions. The dual-screen would simply be double of that.

Kno’s taken some pride in its two-screen design, so why introduce a more standard form factor? Looks like price might be the big motivator; it’s something CEO Osman Rashid seems to at least tacitly acknowledge: “Even though the Kno pays for itself in 13 months, the smaller upfront investment of the single screen version will allow more students to use our learning platform.” That said, we still don’t know the price of either product.
