I own a device with two screens that folds: the Entourage Edge pocket edition. It was pretty sweet, but the only reason I could afford it is because the market rejected it at its original price of $499, so I got it off woot for cheaps after the company went under.

It was really awesome to be able to use it in the same way as I would a book, or to be able to set it up on tables with the back folder over since the hinge went both ways.

I'd say the form factor was a total success for me. The price was its major problem.

Edit: Its other problem was some buggy firmware. Not terrible, but I managed to bork mine while upgrading and had to go through some serious hardware shenanigans to get it working again. Which was actually pretty fun.
