If you were hoping to snag one of Toshiba's new Libretto W100 ultra mobile PCs (UMPCs), well, here's us hoping you pulled the trigger while it was still able to fire. Less than 48 hours after the U.S. version -- Libretto W105-L251 -- went on sale, eager customers snatched up every last unit, and it doesn't look like Toshiba is planning to replenish its supply.
This dual-screen UMPC was available both direct from Toshiba and through Amazon, but now shows as being sold out on both portals. Neither site makes any mention of more units to come.
The limited run Libretto enticed users with its two 7-inch multi-touch touchscreens that work horizontally or vertically. Inside sat an Intel 1.2GHz Pentium U5400 processor, 2GB of DDR3 memory, and a 62GB SATA drive. An 8-cell battery powered the device, and Windows 7 Home Premium brought it all together.

TYhat was my ikdea 2 years ago....sent to most motherboard manufacturers.....I know you're going to sday...yeah right....well I got proof....remember that nVidia ION powered device contest a year or 2 ago....well I entered this dual screen idea there too.
No I'm not looking for money praise or recognition...it's just nice to see a good idea...manufactured....now if they'd just use my motherboard design...I would be in 7th heaven.
P.S. I sent both my mobo idea and the dual screen idea to MaxPC as well....you can confrim this by my email address.
