Lenovo officially releases W700ds- dual screen ThinkPad [jkOnTheRun]
GigaOM Network — It is officially under embargo for a few hours but Lenovo has broken their own embargo by providing an evaluation W700ds to GottaBeMobile so we’re going live with the deets.

I’ve been issuing daily reminders to my Twitter followers for the past few weeks now, saying that there is no iTablet, and I’ve even made bets with two of my friends that such a product will not hit the market ...
