We figure it&#8217;s got to take real ambition to create a pocketable dualscreen device with not just one non-working touchscreen, but two! In theory, the Marvel-powered MID or My Interactive Device (not to be confused with Mobile Internet Devices) runs Android on its 4.8-inch LCD touchscreen, while its neighboring 5-inch e-ink <span>Wacom-enabled touchscreen<\/span> is meant for reading and taking notes. The concept is similar to the much-more-polished <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/07\/entourage-edge-gets-super-official-at-ces-set-to-ship-next-mont\/\">Entourage Edge<\/a>, or even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/spring-design-alex-hands-on\/\">Spring Design&#8217;s Alex<\/a>, though we have no idea if Astri intends the two displays to communicate with one another. We&#8217;ll be siding with those alternatives until Astri can work out its many issues, though we do like the idea of the more portable e-reading device.
