Would be better to just have one screen for academic purposes IMO.

absolutely...the size is not an issue because this looks to be a real computing device not a tablet...for me it fills that need where my references really must have two pages viewable or there is just a ton of back and forth or all the books much be reformatted to conform to a one page paradigm...heck it was just about 10-15yrs back when they finally started getting the two page layouts right...

I like it, but it's at best a gen 1 device and I have forever sworn off gen 1 devices anymore as they are at best, beta hardware, even with smaller companies trying to make a name. Let them work it out a couple generations (maybe 18-mo max these days) then I'll bite...sure will be interesting to see the Tegra 2 in this thing.

It would be nice if you could decouple the panels and use them independently when the need exists...but that, like everything else, takes time...
