    That's a pretty cool idea. I haven't heard any rumblings from ASUS on this one, but that doesn't mean they aren't working on something like it either. If it becomes popular, there's no doubt that other manufacturers will be doing it as well.

    I believe those pics are photoshopped. The screen in those pictures covers the webcam.

    There's real life shots of the gateways, and they look less awesome.

    That one has edge to edge glass, but not the LCD itself. The one posted has nearly edge to edge display.

    Though I see where the first couple screenshots seem to be photoshopped as the other user posted. Here's an actual picture of the screen: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2v2_cwdLz0w/Thq6cRMkJFI/AAAAAAAADdw/mwHU80LVBIs/s1600/GatewayID47.jpg
