Samsung's patent shows a front and back screen being manipulated by touch commands

We’ve been inundated with the iPad and its multitouch capabilities. It has made for a slew of apps utilizing the technology, and now, we are to prepare for the next-generation of tablet computing – a future of double touchscreens, one on the front, and one on the back.

The patent filed with the USPTO describes a “Mobile terminal having dual touch screen and method of controlling content therein”. It’s unclear whether content will be displayed on both screens, but from the sounds of the patent the rear screen function to detect touch events for whatever applications will utilize such features.

We are expecting a Galaxy android tablet, and since this device is still a ways away, the double touch patent could be for future designs to come. Or perhaps not at all.

The New Scientist video below shows a similar technology prototype in use.

]]> Taking self portraits can be hard with regular digital cameras. The preview screen is on the back, while the lens is on the front. We usually end up with the “MySpace angle” for most shots and the framing can end up terrible, but sometimes it’s fun. Samsung “fixed” that with an inevitable change, the addition of the second screen. Two new digital cameras have been announced by Samsung featuring the front-facing LCD, as well as a regular preview screen on the back.  The Samsung ST100 features a 14.2-megapixel sensor, 3.5-inch touchscreen, 1.8-inch front-facing display, 720p HD video recording, and a 5x optical zoom lens that stays inside its slim body.  And the Samsung ST600 with the same display, sensor, and HD video recording capabilities, but with a wider 27mm lens, with the zoom lens sticking out of the body.

Expect to pay $350 for the ST100, and $330 for the ST600.
