Laptp/Tablet The Hybrid....TOO COOL

Laptop/Tablet Hybrid Design Patent from Apple

I have to admit that when I first saw the new Dell Inspiron Duo. my first thought was “this should have been an Apple first”…

Others have had their own forays into the hybrid market, but to be honest, the thought of running Windows and the usual flimsy construction or poor implementation has so far kept me away from making the move, despite loving the concept. And Linux distros like Ubunto for Netbook haven’t done a much better job at wooing me either (though we run it on the household/kids’ netbook).
But now, Apple has patented a new design which might indicate their entry in the market, hopefully in the near future. I can’t wait, if so.

To be noted: I’m not sure how comfortable those side rails would be though….

Just Wondering If You knew

Did you know that before there was Trique Designs there was Design Rite, the name was changed because of dispute between the Co-owners of Design Rite, as the result the co-owners parted. The other Co-partner who is Tonny Anthony Mtumtum came up with another name which was T&T Connections, named after Himself and his Sister who's name was Tiny, Tony & Tiny made T&T Connections.

The idea behind T&T Connection was simple, "DESIGN" from website to logos designs. Logos, Facebook Pages, Websites and Blogs where made for T&T Connections. The name had to be changed once more because another company that exists already took the name and registered it. "I know sucks big time".

Then Trique Designs was born from derived from Tonny Anthony's  Mtumtum nickname.

Free thoery lessons by Psdtuts

While many of us can create something that looks good in Photoshop or attractive when spliced into CSS, but do we actually understand the design theory behind what we create? Theory is the missing link for many un-trained but otherwise talented designers.
