Toshiba over the past few days has been busy launching a bunch of notebooks in the Taiwan market, including the 10-inch NB250 netbook, 13-inch to 15-inch Satellite L series notebooks for mainstream folks, high-end Satellite A series, and a pair of ultra-thin Portege models, one built around Intel's Pentium U5400 processor and the other sporting a Core i3 330UM chip. All of these are expected to ship stateside starting later this month.

Amid all the new notebook launches, there's chatter that Toshiba is readying a dual-screen something-or-other by the end of the June. Reports appear mixed on whether this will be a notebook, tablet, or hybrid. Whatever it ends up being, the Guidebook, as the codename goes, will feature two 7-inch displays, says DigiTimes.

Earlier leaks and rumors also have the Guidebook pegged with some sort of Windows OS on the software side and Nvidia's Tegra platform for the hardware. It was originally rumored that the Guidebook would be developed by Compal, but new reports suggest Toshiba is working on this one in-house.
