It was the perfect tablet, but sadly, it was cancelled.  It was a dual touchscreen tablet that folded in half like a book.  It was pre iPad and before the big tablet boom unfortunately.  However, two developers have made Microsoft’s vision a reality with the iPad.  They have created a program called Taposé that brings the dual touchscreen functionality to the iPad.  Don’t go thinking they will make it fold in half either.  Read more...
