Anyone see this? Samsung Continuum (Galaxy S with 2 screens)

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/30/exclusive-samsung-continuum-for-verizon-has-double-the-displays/
looks very interesting, kind of has me scared on how fast samsung may replace our phones with something else.

It does look interesting, probably more so if the devs find a way to customize the crap out of the secondary screen.

More screen means less battery life.

Ditto. The phone sounds more like a gimmick than something that will catch up. I would prefer a working phone with one screen .

Not necessarily. You may be able to use that little screen instead of the big screen for common tasks and actually save battery.
I do sort if think it's a gimmick though. I'd rather have one screen with soft buttons a la the archos.

Looks gross

...they're still shipping new phones with 2.1. what the hell!?

It probably ships with the GPS bug, too.
Not impressed because of the manufacturer.

I'm kind of wondering if it's really just one big screen with a dead strip separating the two sections... Since there isn't any backlighting involved, there is no "cost" to only use part of a screen...

I agree. It looks very interesting which raises a lot of questions.
Hopefully, JeremyNT's thoughts prove right and you can turn off the big screen and use the small screen for caller ID, notifications etc., as the article did mention.

i dont like it, not abit, why they had to change this and that when company like verizon and att get a phone, a nice looking phone and they turn it into this!

looks cool here are better pics
I'm liking how it uses bottom screen for notifications
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Sorry double post

So we need a phone with the time and icons in the notification bar, on a homescreen widget, and at the bottom? How about a digital clock on the top, both sides, bottom and back so when I want to know what time it is...I really fu©kin know what time it is. Sheesh.

Obviously the bottom screen is customizable just like your home screen you dont need to use a clock widget
But yea Ive always wondered why people need clock widget when time is on top, guess its eye candy.
IMO this idea it actually handy and like others said it probably consumes less battery by just using bottom screen and not having to turn on top for minor use and notification...ect

What a perfect spot to display ads too....

I was curious to see a "native theme" and to see if it asked for any Permissions when I went to install it.
It installed and I am able to select the theme and it even applied (pretty nice, even the icons are sans-backgrounds) but it's been showing as "Installing..." the entire time...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I did a Restart to see if that would kill the ongoing "Installing..." progress and that took care of it. I'll email the Developer and I figured I'd post my experience here, in case anyone ran into the same *issue.
It's a pretty slick looking theme, although the circuit board image is a bit too much for me. I like the clear icons and the Android-green throughout. I'll ditch the circuit board lock image, but it persists throughout (e.g. in the App Tray).
Some screen shots...
I'm one of the few that actually likes the mySense/TMO twist on Sense and while I've tried LP and ADW, I'm quite happy with stock. Standard issue just feels better sometimes.
I also realized some might not like the images posted inline, but I'm a fan of not having to click to open an image (unless it's got a thickbox wrapper).

I talked to the developer of this theme also (really nice guy)
He did an amazing job on it.
but the green is not my thing so i have been talking to him about how he was able to make it. (only one i have seen)
he said it has to be done by source so im looking into that.
i would love to start making themes for the my touch 4g.
i dont have the phone im just working on a port for the incredible and would like to make some themes for all the people using the port and would post them here also.

Hey guys...any way to get weather and stocks on notification menu...yes like the ios...it'd be quite handy for me...
P.s. I would like to stay on stock...

With Beautiful widgets, you can get the weather on your notificationbar. No root required.

Weather Notification. Informative but no pretty animations.

Decent...but does not have the cool factor...
So should I assume that ios is better off than Android..atleast for this feature....sad but true :-(
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

It's just an app , not tied to OS , if there is enough demand developers will make them, need to screen app market once in a while.

Try The Accuweather app from market,That allows you to have weather on your Notification bar

Yes, you should get an iPhone. This feature makes it sooooooo much better than Android phones.

Would really love to see this available!

Pushing this thread up, maybe someone's got an App...

no offence to anyone....but all I mean is that apple copied the notifications functionality from Android, but made it bit better....and our Devs can take some ideas from Apple and make it much better considering we have open source
its all healthy competition ( except the stupid lawsuits )
so... could any motivated Dev in the house please stand up

This isn't Weather or Stocks...but it can be pretty handy...
Found it on the Market:

Isn't good if you got a black notification bar, because you can't change the text color to white (or something else...)

Try Palmary Weather (free): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.palmarysoft.forecaweather&hl=en
Menu -> More -> Enable temperature notification
Also happens to be a very nice weather app.

hmm, I like Beautifulwidgets more, but this one is free, so it's ok.

I use weatherbug elite. Has temp in top left corner and forecast in the pull down bar. Widgets real nice too

This thread is because I get asked this question on a daily basis in my ROM thread and I figured this would explain it all. Its HD WIDGETS that you can get from the market.
HD WIDGETS!!!!!
This thread has been inspired by... animatechnica

Now you'll have two threads where people won't read the OP and still ask.

haha AWESOME...
I have to admit, I was one of the guys that asked this last week when I first flashed Task 5.0. Loving the HD Widgets, makes my Tab look like my HTC Thunderbolt with Sense 3.0 and the flip clock. love it!

Thanks! Great find!

what is that widget called again?

What is that widget you use for weather and clock? Can you link it?
Sorry, had to...ha ha

You can do this with Nova launcher (prime).. but you have to get their tesla unread plugin or an app called Missed It. They are paid though..
I think ADW launcher has a plugin that does something similar as well.

I agree with OP. Just because it's on the play store doesn't mean anyone can find it. You need to figure out the keyword for finding the relevant apps, which isn't always obvious. If you don't want to answer, just don't. No one is forcing you, so stop acting all high and mighty.
tl;dr Go away and don't come back.
