Samsung Files for Patent: Touch Screens on Front and Back

Posted by | 08/04/2010 | 2 Comments

Samsung has filed for a Tablet/Slate patent that offers some interest. Essentially it offers dual touch screens on the front and back of a device. Apple filed for a similar patent awhile back. Does it have practical application? I’m not sure, but somebody must think so.

    Apple has an earlier patent application up for this as well (scroll about halfway down):

    I wish someone would put a low profile tactile keyboard (split for right and left hand keys) on the backs of tablets/ipads/etc so I could type with my fingers on the back while watching the display in the front.

    It really wouldn’t be that hard to do.
