There have been a lot of new devices launched lately, from netbooks and tablets, to, of course, the iPad. Now get ready for the Toshiba Libretto W100, which merges the Nintendo DS idea with a netbook.

While it looks very much like a netbook at first glance, the W100 reveals its true self as soon as you open the cover, which reveals, not one, but two high resolution displays.

Those screens come in handy in supporting Windows 7's multi-touch capabilities, doubling the area that you have to interact with your applications.

However, that means there is no physical keyboard - although there are several onscreen keyboards as well as a 'soft' trackpad for navigation.

As anyone who has used an onscreen keyboard will tell you, it will take getting used to, but it does offer up intriguing possibilities.

For example, you can watch a movie on one screen while surfing the web for information on the other. You can also turn the W100 vertically and get an open book.
