Edit: the Toshiba SD-Book does not look like it had the unique orientation ability that the device of interest in this thread has.
I don't think it was ever marketed. I already pointed out that OLPC has announced a Generation 2 device with dual screens so the idea is not that new. One could even say it was obvious so not patentable.
