Dual Display?

Can any version of the Orange Pi support dual displays in Bananian? I am looking for a board like the Orange Pi that can have two independent displays attached. I saw that the original Orange Pi had HDMI and VGA, but does one turn the other off? Can you still only use one display? I don't want a mirrored desktop, I want an extended desktop. I plan on putting a GUI into Bananian because Bananian doesn't crash when I attach a USB mono headset to it. My ultimate goal is to create an operator box. On one screen I want to display an online flash operater panel through a web browser, and on the other screen I want to put a SIP phone and email. It does not take much power to do that, but the hookups required is not something I have found yet. If the Orange Pi can't do it, do you know any dev board that can? I know a raspberry pi can support two independent screens through it's GPIO, but the raspberry pi is way too weak for my needs.

Dual screen should work but flash in browser on arm linux? There is no arm adobe flash on linux.

It's actually run by Java. Flash Operator Panel is a separate nomenclature. It would be awesome if I can get the Orange Pi to take two screens, one on the HDMI and one on the VGA. I just want to make sure it's possible before I spend money on a dead end project.

I hope someone has had success. If they have I'll buy an Orange Pi.

I would really like a dev board that can do a dual display for my capstone IT project. I would actually like to get in touch with the makers of the Orange Pi. I know an industry that is in desperate need for a custom kind of dev board we can sell the heck out of, but it still would need a way to do dual displays. I would be honored to be a part of that project.
