OLPC 2.0.dual touch screen

This is an intersting development. The new OLPC has 2 (multi)touch screens. So you can use 1 as a keybord and the other as a screen but even cooler you can fold it to 1 big (ok, relatively spoken) screen taht act as 1 screen. great for multi touch apps (google maps will be even more fun this way and when combining with a GPS you have back your paper map but in a 2.0 version and interactive)

Not sure if the screens can act like 1 multitouch screen and hope they can ke the border around the screens a bit smaller (this is pretty thick in between the 2 screens) but definately a great development

Thanks to http://www.netbooknews.de/ a nice picture of the mockup (yes it's not in the shops yet unfortunalely)
