Tech: Detachable Display

Toshiba shows off detachable notebook display - Engadget - www.engadget.com: "It almost looks a little bit disturbing, seeing the headless notebook with detached screen, as if you�ve just perpetrated your own worst nightmare and dropped your laptop to the floor, severing its hinge. Once we get past our separation anxiety, Toshiba�s detachable display starts looking like a pretty sweet idea, enabling you to get the benefits of a Tablet PC with all the computing power of a traditional notebook. The prototype they pitched at CeBIT was a 12.1-inch TFT LCD screen, XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels), communicating with the mothership via 802.11b. However, there�s some bad news (as usual) � the detachable displays won�t be ready for market for at least another two to three years, and nobody�s gonna get attached to the battery life on these units: currently an hour, with hopes to extend to two to three hours by the time they go into production."

OK this is pretty cool, except the battery life. But still a tablet that detaches from it's keyboard, I want one.
