The Xentex Flip-Pad Voyager

There's a trend in the laptop world to make things lighter and smaller - generally, that's a good thing. Xentex, however, has other ideas: the Flip-Pad Voyager is a monster of a laptop, boasting a 20" screen that actually comes in two pieces. It also has four USB ports, Ethernet, modem, two PCMCIA slots, firewire, and many other features (including a staggering $4995 US price tag). I've never seen anything like this before, and in my book that makes it very cool - I love seeing traditional boundaries shattered and remade into something new (part of the reason I'm excited about the Tablet PC).
