Sony enters the dualbook fray

I've seen several announcements about the forthcoming Sony S2 Honeycomb table, with two 5.5" dual screens. This frustrates me, for a couple of reasons:

1)It just shows that Entouage was ahead of th curve--people want dual screens--and blew it
2)Why is nobody innovating with eink, or trying to integrate ink into these dualscreen configurations?
3)What good are two 5.5" screens??

Have you noticed that they, too, continue to use the laptop metaphor, whereas enTourage used the book metaphor? I consider these "dual screen" devices poor replacements.

It doesn't look like Sony considers either one of those tablet things a reader. They appear to be aimed at the iPad-using, multi-media-consuming crowd, rather than the more intellectual reading-and-annotating types like us. ;-)

And Imperial, in your case, Ken! Psst!

Go learn and grow up, Sony!
