Early look at the next version of the One Laptop Per Child XO machine 
(aka the $100 Laptop) featuring two touch-sensitive displays, which can 
either be screen and virtual keyboard, or verso and recto of two e-book 
pages.

Considering the fundamental problem with other e-book readers--that no 
one wants to buy a unitasker--this could (emphasis on "could") be a very 
interesting path for e-books.
