The Momenta has just one hinge that connects the display to the base.
It's a goofy hinge with thick slab of rubber around it which is guaranteed
to crack and break with time, but other than that, it's not much different
that a normal notebook hinge.

The Vadem looks more like the Compaq Concerto, and it's very hard to find
a Concerto without a broken hinge. But the concept is closer to the GRiD
Convertible (2670/2270) which can be used either as a traditional notebook
or as a pen-based slate by swiveling the LCD.

Either way, I want one (and thanks to Uncle Roger for pointing it out to
me).
