There is a second-generation dual-touch screen notebook, "Canova", in the works, from V12, a company with offices in Australia and Italy. Apparently the latest version will be manufactured by a U.S. company. As soon as I learned about it, my head was spinning with possibilities for application development.

 

It is perfect for Universal Design for Learning and gaming applications. The screen can orient content in different directions. The notbook can be laid out in a variety of angles. It will accept multi-touch and audio input.

 

For more information, see my recent post:

 

V12's Dual-Touch-screen Canova: Multi-touch could support applications for universal design, education, and assistive technology.

 

If you know more about the newest version of Canova, let me know. I think the notebook would be great for serious games.
