Slim touchscreen Lenovo tablet at CES easily docks into lightweight "netbook skin"... flashbacks of Idoru

One of the two coolest things I've seen at CES this year (other than the Sony 3D gaming booth). Major flashbacks of the multicoloured tablets Korean kids carry around in William Gibson's masterpiece Idoru. I've been waiting for this since the book came out in 1996... already that long?! We're still probably about 5yrs off that vision (ie. no eyeplugs at CES as of yet), but we just got one step closer ;)



Now all we need is the nanotech construction goo to make the tablet docking "netbook skins" all the more lightweight and organic... oh well, another couple of years to wait then.
