Actually, I think Apple only supports the use of external VGA 
displays with the iBooks. That's not so bad as far as I'm concerned, 
because I'm not sure I don't prefer a CRT. But Apple supports them 
via an adapter which draws on the signal from the video output port, 
and the larger, external CRT monitor attached to the adapter only 
mirrors what's on the iBook's LCD display. That, however, is what 
reportedly can be hacked so as to get, for example, the Photoshop 
palettes on the iBook's screen and the image on the CRT. That's what 
I meant by "dual display", which is maybe not the right expression.

Clamshell mode I don't remember seeing/hearing anything about.
