Mintpass to Release Dual Boot Tablet in 2011

Not only is this little device supposed to dual boot between Windows 7 and Android, but it also has dual touch screens making it stand out a little more then just a dual boot piece of hardware. Mintpass is known in Korea for its Mintpad that was released back in 2008. It has been a fairly popular little device.  The company is calling their latest venture a cross between a Tablet and a Netbook. No official name for the device has been announced yet. The idea sounds pretty good though. They are looking to boot full Windows 7 OS, giving you all the abilities of the OS and running software you know and love with the ability to boot to Android for better battery life. They are supposedly in talks with Google to get licensing for access to the Android Market as well. With Google stating that the current Android OS version is not being made for this type of application, we can only assume they will wait till they can integrate Gingerbread or Honeycomb into the hybrid device.

Seems like a clever idea. Dual screens and dual boot. Obviously the photos I have looked for are of the original Mintpad. So what you see is not what we are expecting to see. What do you guys think? If this device can perform well would you add it to your arsenal of gadgetry?
