Asus just revealed a dual panel laptop concept at CeBIT that ditches the keyboard for two touchscreens, just like the Nintendo DSi. All the details after the jump!
Asus has revealed the Dual Panel laptop at the CeBIT tradeshow in Germany, packing two touchscreens in a layout like the planned OLPC 2. Asus says the Dual Panel laptop will allow for a resizable virtual keyboard and touchpad, as well as multitouch and even an e-book mode to flick through pages as you would a real book.
The Asus Dual Panel laptop is part of a concept competition designed through WePC.com, so while there’s no news as to whether the Asus will actually make the Dual Panel laptop, we hope it’s on the roadmap as some of the concept computers Asus showed off at CES appear to be. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Sorry if this is a repost.

i smell vaporware
Lol, Asus is imitating everything that OLPC tried to develop. First it was cheap sub-notebook now this. Don't get me wrong, I got nothing against it but come on Asus be more original, IMO.

FYI, this is what I was talking about. Notice the date.

OLPC dual-screen
I don't care if they are copying, that is too cool.
its a big difference between trying to develop someting and putting it out to the consumers
i dont care who it seams had the ide first
i bet he/they got it from some cartoon anyhow


and yea asus usaly delivers ^^

Yea, asus delivers and I like their product. They are one of the top dog of the industry but they need to be more innovative, IMO. To me, asus seems to be just waiting for something to come up and then jump the bandwagon. It is most likely a vaporware.

Uhhhh what?!? Who started the whole cheap-mini-laptop thing? (asus)

It looks like a big, less useful DS. I think I'll pass, but it does have a certain charm to it.
