Nice to see someone try this. I wrongly thought Apple might do this with their laptops before the iPad was officially announced. Too bad this is so ugly and oddly bulky-looking, though.

Did anyone else notice the odd placement of the (single) shift key? That doesn't look like a lot of fun to type on.

Well, it's a virtual screen, you can rearrange the keys.

That looks bulky, but I'm pretty sure it's the future of laptops/netbooks/tablets. You can fold it up to protect the screens, whereas an iPad is perpetually at risk.

Also, reminds me of the Microsoft Courier concept (which was actually pretty badass).

When opened up and laid flat it's almost the same size as an iPad

It's running Windows 7, which means tacked on touch interface software, which means it will be crap.

Less than 3 hours of battery life... not exactly an iPad killer.
