How are you supposed to watch a full screen movie? I can see it being useful in terms of one half being a screen and the other a virtual keyboard, but if they could make it unfold into a larger uninterupted screen I'd be impressed. Otherwise it would be a lot of wasted space if you were using it only as a touch screen. It’s an interesting concept, but I think that black bar between the panes kills it.

Either that or they'll make it an industry-wide consortium where we'll be inundated with several incompatible models whose market they will proceed to destroy by bundling it with over-priced and buggy software with a focus on how to pander to the business customers irrespective of any end-user who may need to suffer themselves by use of the device.I must caution, that I am a BIG Microsoft supporter and so my views may be biased.

I can't wait to be rid of my magazine subscriptions and to be able to carry my very heavy technology books with me everywhere! I am 66 and just have trouble carrying 50 to 60 lbs of books and magazines to and from work each day. Thumbs up for Microsoft again!
