Looks pretty cool, but I think it would be easily broken.

The 2 screens being in close proximity to eachother when closed seems like a bad idea. Like one of the comments at the bottom said, any dirt/articles that get between there will scratch the screen. Unless they are making it with some protector.

It's neat, but seems like more of a toy than something that can be applied to the real world.

I have a current Thinkpad tablet, and rarely ever use it as one.

Maybe there are some people that could use it to it's full potential, but it's not me, and i don't think it's the major market.

I think that if these tablets are marketed right they could create a new market. People that work with desktop all day can use something like this. They'd become personal Internet access devices. As versatile as a laptop but easier to carry.
