NEC Dual Screen Cloud Communicator - First Look


The company NEC has already launched the tablet in Japan, at least for the time being, but also reveal something interesting for the rest of the market CES 2011 event in Las Vegas. To be precise, it will introduce the tablet NEC Dual Screen Cloud Communicator, a terminal operating system Android, two 7-inch display, 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS and is compatible with the use of a stylus as an alternative to the fingers.

NEC has not yet revealed how exactly the two screens, but it seems that the tablet is capable of running applications separate and distinct on each screen simultaneously, going to trace the concept Microsoft Courier that you can see in the opening. At the software level do not know much, not even the version of Android that will be used, but hopefully this is Honeycomb, or at least Gingerbread.

The company will also show a single-screen version of the tablet with a camera, as well as a netbook with Android operating system. It will be rather curious to discover the design of the dual-screen tablet, to understand how to handle two displays on a device that should be easy to use and transport, and not too thick and heavy.

2012 Ford C-Max

A few days after the Paris Motor Show, we had the chance to sample the Grand C-Max, Ford's latest Euro-spec MPV destined for North American soil. Other markets around the world are ripe with these mini-minivans, but here in the States, our only C-segment MPV option is the very likable Mazda5. The long-wheelbase C-Max will drop its "Grand" nomenclature when it arrives here in North America, and the public will get its first taste of the new Ford at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show.

Ford calls the C-Max's seating configuration a "five-plus-two," meaning that the interior is best suited for five passengers, and that the two rear seats are best used for small occupants. What's more, Ford offers a unique storage solution for the middle seat in the second row, allowing it to fold down and is stow underneath the bottom cushion of the rear passenger-side chair, creating a set of two captain's seats in the process (check out a video here). The rest of the C-Max interior is very much akin to what we've seen in the 2012 Focus, and we're quite impressed with the high-quality craftsmanship that FoMoCo is putting into its latest crop of cabins.

2012 Ford C-MaxPerhaps the most interesting feature of the 2012 C-Max is its hands-free liftgate. Much like a passive entry system for the driver's door, whoever has the C-Max's key fob on their person can simply wave their leg under the rear bumper, triggering two sensors that will open the liftgate. It's pretty slick, and Ford tells us that this technology will me making its way to the vast majority of the company's hatchback products.

The base powertrain in the C-Max is Ford's 2.5-liter inline-four also found in the Fusion. In its MPV home, this mill produces 168 horsepower and 167 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission. The upmarket engine is an all-new 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four, rated at 180 hp and 173 lb-ft of twist, also mated to a six-speed 'box. The C-Max is only available with front-wheel drive, and 17-inch wheels are fitted to all three trim levels – S, SE and SEL.

We're eager to get our mitts on the U.S.-spec C-Max, and we're crossing our fingers that American car buyers will be more receptive to smaller MPVs than in the past. Check out the 2012 C-Max for yourself in the gallery below, and follow the jump for the full suite of details.
