This new design, as shown in the patent filed by Apple, takes advantage of the bendable display technology that has been so avidly discussed in the tech community. In addition to the polyurethane protecting your prized iPad, the new design will include an additional flexible display that can be used for any number of things. If you have used the current iPad Smart Cover, you know that it is far from smart. While the sleek design and bendable edges are nice, they are a far reach from the features and gadgets associated with the “smart” nomination. The new design will not only showcase innovative technology in an everyday application, but it will also provide a wide range of possibilities when it comes to user-experience.
Much like the Nintendo 3DS, the two-screen model will allow creative-types and workhorses alike to keep abreast of their projects while having the freedom to work at an efficient rate. And with the table top display, the use of smart pens will be not only become more popular but also quite practical. When this product finally comes out, terrible finger signatures will hopefully be a thing of the past. Photo: Flickr / Sean MacEntee
