personally a dual screen device doesn't really tempt me much because i like the comfort of holding it in one hand, especially when reading in bed, and turning on my side. but like kaz said, i think a dual screen could be very useful for school situations (much like the new OLPC, i believe), research, technical uses...
on the other hand, this is a very interesting idea :

it could make for a really compact device that is well-protected when being carried around, and still a comfortable size for reading when opened up. i'd actually even like something a bit smaller than 2 6" screens (presuming there is at least a bit of a bezel on the non-hinged sides), so it could be really small when folded, and not too bulky when opened. maybe 2 5" screens could be great.
