The Powerbook Duo predates Microsoft surface by about 30 years.
Though exists in a completely different product category.
Apple likes to recycle their brand names. AppleVision was a display long before it was used s the headset branding. I’ll be interested to see if the Apple folding phone is a flop. I would much rather have seen the Duo name saved for something more innovative. 🤷♂️
It’s a shame that Microsoft gave up on Windows phone. It was a good product around version 7 and 8. Slapping android on a device and giving it Microsoft branding was just utterly embarrassing though. Still, I expect nothing less from their current lack of vision or leadership.
