A dual-screen mobile device project from Microsoft thought to be abandoned may have been snatched up by Dell. Dell’s device is reportedly codenamed “Januss,” and has been under development since last year, but it’s not clear whether the device will ever come to market.
Dell was working on mobile Windows devices before, and those devices were canceled. Microsoft also canceled its own Surface Mini device, just weeks before it was due to be revealed.
According to the latest rumor, however, Dell may be getting ready to throw its hat in the ring again.
A leaked app uncovered by Windows Latest info that simulates the two-screen mobile device on PCs appears to offer additional proof of the Dell device.
Microsoft partners' HP, Lenovo and Asus already have Windows 10 on Arm devices, but this would be a first for Dell. The devices have proved to be excellent on battery life and provide an always-on connection, but have lacked the performance muscle of Intel's processors.
