Quote Ed Bott: Matrox has just announced an interesting hardware idea called DualHead2Go . According to the press release, it’s:

… a palm-sized box that connects to the existing single monitor output (i.e. external VGA output) of a computer and appears to the system as a single ultra-widescreen monitor with native support for resolutions up to 2560 x 1024, which are twice as wide as standard resolutions.

Clever idea, and Matrox claims it will work with notebooks and desktops alike. Instead of adding a second video card (with the attendant hassles of getting multiple video drivers to play nice with each other), you just plug your current video output into this box and let its embedded graphics hardware do the work.

In my experience, adding a second monitor is one of the best ways to increase your productivity. This seems like a pretty hassle-free way to do it. Unquote

Pretty clever device there.

It's hard to see how it can be configured to be 2 separate virtual desktops tho. I'm assuming that it's one desktop with twice the viewing area, which would be almost as useful as 2 virtual desktops. Maybe even more useful for some things..

For graphics and cad type stuff this would be great.

Very cool item.
