The iPad2 was revealed by Steve Jobs today. It's incredible, no question, but the absolute star was the video for the new cover:

It's moving to see Steve Jobs returning from medical leave to do this.

Ok here's my idea:

First I thought why not put 2 iPads on a hinge and use them as linked displays as I use my desktop screens?

• Double the screen real estate


• Fold the screens together to shut


• Fold back-to-back to display to users sitting opposite


• Rotate 90 degrees and eg use lower screen as soft keyboard or trackpad


• Flip or drag objects from screen to screen


• Enhance video conferencing


• Enhance gaming


• .....

Then why 2 iPads? Make it n iPads.

Then why a lead? Make that something Bluetoothy.

Then why waste the redundant processors by using the 2nd to nth screens as slaves? Scale up the processing and turn n iPads into a supercomputer.

Don't laugh. It'll come.
