Asus' new Fold/Unfold laptop out in 2009

Asus pretty much stole the show at this year's CeBit, showing off a couple of truly innovative new mobile computing concepts - the dual touchscreen 'flipbook,' and its origami-inspired and ergonomically-enhanced superslim Fold/Unfold notebook, some of the most imaginative Asus laptops to be unveiled.

TechRadar managed to catch up with Asus' CEO Jerry Shen for a long and revealing interview following the company's successful CeBit press conference.

That's right. In 2009.

Shen also added that early adopting techies are going to have to wait a little longer before they see a commercial release of Asus' dual touchscreen 'flipbook' concept.

Which is what the company has done, as you can see from one of the first pics of Shen holding Asus' latest machine right here. We were lucky enough to get a good look at this pre-production model at CeBit and cannot wait to test out the final version later this year, as it is already at the top of our Xmas wish-list for 2009!
