It's not the same dual-screen laptop we showed you before, but for $4,350 you can now pre-order the closest thing to it—Estari's 2-VU notebook. The 2-VU comes with two 15-inch XGA touch-screens that you can use for extreme spreadsheeting, Web-browsing, or anything else you throw its way. I think the system's price is over the top especially since it's only running an Intel dual-core CPU and you can buy two 15-inch laptops for that kinda money, but if you've ever dreamed of owning a giant Nintendo DS, here's your chance. – Louis Ramirez

Seriously, how am I supposed to save lives in Trauma Center while only being able to use one hand to operate (the other holding the DS, obviously)? This device will hold the DS and mount it anywhere your heart desires. Then you are free to use both hands to do all of the gaming you can handle. This mount is made by Playstand and goes for a very cheap $10. –Travis Hudson

It's the final day here at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and of all the phones I've seen, after the jump are the five I'd like to take back home with me. That is, if they hadn't been locked up in glass and/or under tight supervision.

NTT DoCoMo D800iDS
Yeah, they're ripping off the Nintendo DS, but where else will you see a phone with two touch-screen displays. Unfortunately, the D800iDS was not only under glass, but it wasn't even turned on. Lame.
LG Prada
It doesn't get any sexier than this, folks. Miss Spain finalist. Prada. LG. Touch-screen display. Part of my heart will stay at the LG Barcelona booth forever.
Samsung F700
I arrived at 3GSM with dreams of holding the touch-screeny F700. Well, Samsung had a nice big bucket of ice waiting for me cause not only was the F700 a no-show, but they wouldn't even let me touch the prototype.
Samsung FGH-F520
The only company to smack me twice, Samsung's...

...and look at this awesomely freaky cat playing some video games. Here, Xbox 360, after the jump, Nintendo DS.

Now, get back to all of those cellphones. –Travis Hudson

A hard-boiled detective thriller for the Nintendo DS convincingly blurs the boundaries between reading and playing. Commentary by Clive Thompson.

Popcap games, home of Bejeweled and office time wasters, seems to be heading to both the Zune and AppleTV—two devices that were rumored to have upcoming gaming features. Greg Canessa, formerly of Xbox Live Arcade and Apple gaming, just said this about his new position at PopCap:
I will help proliferate their titles on other consoles. It's a broad in scope role. It encompasses everything from vision and strategy to execution and marketing. It will all be part of my group and charter. Business development will be part of that as well. It will be about taking the stable of franchises and games out of PopCap's studio and adapting, customizing it for different platforms -- adding multiplayer, new play modes, HD, customizing the user interface and display for Zune, ipod, Apple TV, Nintendo DS, PSP.
Intriguing, yet this could just be preparing for the Zune and Apple TV in the event that they do allow games in the future. – Jason Chen
XBLA's Greg Canessa...

Back last September when Apple introduced the "iTV" alongside games for the iPod, we had to wonder to ourselves whether Apple would use iTunes and their new casual games relationships to make the device we now know as the Apple TV something of a competitor for Xbox Live Arcade. While there's no way of knowing whether Apple will again dive into living room gaming (remember the Pippin?) short of swiping their 12-month roadmap, we do find it rather interesting that casual games company PopCap (the studio that supplies titles such as Bejeweled and Zuma oh so many platforms -- including the iPod) might have slipped on some Apple TV plans. Greg Canessa, Xbox Live Arcade executive that recently jumped ship to PopCap, told Wired the following about his new job: "It will be about taking the stable of franchises and games out of PopCap's studio and adapting, customizing it for different platforms -- adding multiplayer, new play modes, HD, customizing t...
