So I ask you slashdotters: What size/resolutions/aspect ratio do you dual screen guys use? I'm leaning right now towards dual 1280x1024, mostly because my computer can pump one of those at full detail for most of my games, which is important to me.

Network World reports that a press conference could be held as early as tomorrow at which the maker of phone will almost certainly be unmasked.
