Lenovo W700 Dual Screen ThinkPad
No, you won’t be lugging this one around on your mobile misadventures, but it sure is an interesting desktop replacment from Lenovo. The W700 has an integrated second display that folds into the device. It is 10.6 inches with 768×1280 resolutoin on a LED backlight screen.
Beyond the dual screen magic this model also packs a ton of amazing specs for all kinds of computing goodness. Note that we’re talking a digitizer and pen here but I believe that’s on the wrist wrest and not the screens.

Now, that’s a beast of a machine! Looks good value for $500! ;-)

I’ve gotten used to the small size and light weight of my X61T, but the shear power of this, with a quad core and two screens and an on board pen digitizer… This is severely tempting. If it goes for less than $5000, I would be surprised.
