Another excellent call from 9to5 as regards the screen folding 360 degrees. IN this case, the keyboard would de-activate so only the screen allowed use input.
If you remember a few months ago there was a patent which covered dual operation - touch on the front and keys on the back, originally drawn showing an iPod-like form factor. This would work equally well for a tablet.
I don't think there'd be any issues with an exposed keyboard since in tablet mode you'd be holding the thing or laying it flat on a desk.
Of course, I don't see Apple actually releasing this, but we'll find out soon enough!
