It looks like it could be kind of cool for certain things. If the screen doesn't kill your eyes after 20 minutes I could see it being a good way to read. The screens on the Kindle are actually kind of nice for reading, but those things are so lame since they are a one trick pony. The size just seems kind of awkward though. Are you really going to lug something like that around over a laptop? It's not a true computer, so you can't really do work on it. It's more of a portable entertainment device. So now are we supposed to lug one around in tandem with a laptop? The whole thing just seems more novelty than necessity.
I think Microsoft actually has something going with their tablet and the dual screen and the ability to fold it in half. Who knows though. All these ideas will perhaps help shape some truly revolutionary devices to come in the future.
