K yocera and Sprint announces the first dual-touchscreen Smartphone, Kyocera Echo. The Kyocera Echo is Android Smartphone that features two 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen displays connected by a patent-pending "pivot hinge" that enables the two displays to operate independently, side-by-side or combined to form an oversized 4.7-inch integrated LCD display. Until now, single screen Smartphones could only be used to complete one task at a time, even with limited multitasking capabilities available on some other Smartphones. The Kyocera Echo is a true multimedia Smartphone with innovative new features and a unique design.
