Ballmer really needs to get out of Microsoft and let true innovators run the company. "Professional" Business Executives seem to only care about the bottom line.
@AlexFoeShizzle Oh please, this concept came out almost TWO YEARS before the iPad was even hinted at. A lot of people could have put this device to good use, and Apple just hopped on the bandwagon and took an unrealized idea before it came to fruition.
The iPad is just a giant iPod touch, and everyone knows it.
@AlexFoeShizzle No I don't, but I do own an iPhone, and have friends who own iPads. For my needs (and the type of device), the interface shown on the Courier would have suited my needs better than the iPad.
Just a matter of time before Google does this with two tablets that can be arranged side by side.
* note all the gesture inconsistencies (double tap means "activate" not "stick a pin in it" and the "pinch zoom" gesture, when fingers move apart, means "zoom in" not "change to thumbnail view" ... sheesh)
Everything else show can be done with a since tablet today using apps like Evernote or core functionality in Chrome or iOS.
I know I'll gladly wait in line for this Courier, if and when it comes to market..C'mon Microsoft, you only have something to lose, by, not releasing this. You should have done this in 09'...I can think of 57 people right now, who'd want one as well
No, receptical, they do. It's just that this one they were going to make didn't have windows in it so they said it would probably hurt their company. This could have been made before the real ipad if they weren't so afraid that people wouldn't buy it. So i think eventually they'll make this once they get it to go with windows software. It's much more cooler than the ipad and i don't even have an ipad! THIS DOESN'T EXIST YET, it was going to, FOR ALL WHO THINK THIS IS BEING SOLD OUT THERE.
I would have love to have this. My husband calls me tech geekie. Even on our budget I have nook color on steroids, android phones, apps to amaze the novice, AND just acquire the Toshiba Thrive, 2 all in-ones. This reallly could have been an IPAD killer. This would have made me think twice. I like a LOT!!!!!
Too bad this didn't come out, what the hell were these guys thinking when they killed the project. It would have been nice for some games too. Flip it and one screen would be a keyboard and mouse, good for e-mail, programming, typing , etc. Too Bad.
I would have bought this! So good job Gates and Balmer. This is what I wanted for a tablet. Something that isn't just a GIGA-phone, something that I can write on.
Wow, this is awsome. Cancelling this products just strenghten my opinion that Steve Balmer is a dumb ass who has no vision. He just lives of Windows. No wonder why wall street does not like him. Actually, does anyone?
This video is not a real prototype but computer rendering of a concept. I like the design ideas. Too bad they never got around to manufacture one, otherwise it would have been a worthy alternative to iPad. It is more oriented towards productivity than entertainment.
actually, what they're doing right now with live tiles seems more useful than a lot of this. I do like journal concept, though--that would be great for research papers.
This is nothing more than a CG I. A cartoon if you will. I may as well had watched an episode of The Jetsons. At least Apple shows REAL products. I, for the life of me, can't understand all of the hype behind something that was never real. Great concept though.
I'm a happy iPad-user, but I'm really looking forward to see what Windows 8 and some great hardware will be like. On the other hand, what cool new features will iPad have at that time...?
On December 24,2006 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed into myspace.She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter.if you don't repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't wanna die
who in his right mind cancels a project with this much potential? You realize they would have put this into production in 2009 and they would have made a fortune. If Balmer canceled this he needs to go... period.
@luqven They haven't cancelled it. They just scrapped plans of mass-producing it, so they can improve it. Check out my channel for a recent demo of a prototype like this device. Microsoft Research collaborated with others to create it.
of all developers why did it have to be microsoft? lol!... and as always it didnt happen.. what r they gd at anyways... wishful thinking and empty fantasies... wake up! now go pick up an ipad and go back to reality!
God I wish this became reality... so many uses... Education, medicine, design, etc.... Everything would benefit from a dual screen tablet running this os... But now were stuck with the Sony s2 or whatever running honeycomb, which I'm pretty sure won't work well on am dual screen tablet...
Why Microsoft, why? Why did you cancel this? You could have easily beaten Apple if you'd created this as your first tablet thing, but no, you had to cancel it. And now I have to say - I hope Apple makes a dual screen iPad like this.
The reason this tablet was cancelled is because of Steve Balmer. Let's face it, the guy is not a visionary. What he is a market expert. And the market says windows is very popular, thus Balmer ended this project to invest in more window tablets. So how well are those buggy window tablets going for you Balmer? You monkey of a man.
@MapleMeadows Discussed this issue yesterday in my product development class. It is just sad that hyper-active air-head Steve Balmer killed this product just because he thought it is not Windows. What an f-in idiot. This product was the true i-Pad killer and in many ways would have set the standard for Apple to follow. I fail to understand why MSFT does not fire the dickhead... What a SERIOUS waste of opportunity to be the first world class non Apple product...
i've been saying this for a long time. make a dual screen tablet the size of a comic book which you can turn sideways and use as a laptop by projecting a keyboard on one of the touch screens. when they develop foldable screens, the whole thing can be a giant tablet when opened
I think the two major pieces that killed this were processors (bottlenecks) and batteries. The technology to run this as fast as the video and for 8hr+ just doesn't exist yet. I can barely get my iPhone running longer than 3 hours with constant use, this wouldn't last 2. Still, exciting times when this tech comes to fruition, and I can't wait! :D
its more flexible for work & studies than the other pads of the market. I would buy one if they sell it some day. It seems perfect for my univercity & my art concepts!
@wunderfantastike Yes, unlike every mac product in which you pay twice for the name, and get worse hardware. Then have almost every mac laptop crash. Good choice of company.
uh... i see microsofts marketing department is alert and in full "crush" mode. how much did your soul cost? so far, a mac has never crashed (unless youre runninng windows bootcamped under a mac). It is more expensive, but imo you get a better system.
Recently MS announced that Windows 8 would be their riskiest move yet. Lets hope they really give us the wow factor like this product, and don't just confine themselves to what they already offer, but in a nice shiny packaging.
I want MS to release some truly revolutionary products...more products like the Windows Phone 7
I would take this over the iPad any time, lol and I am writing this comment from my iPad btw lol... It's not that I don't like my iPad I LOVE IT but I hate apple as a company they are really awful to their customers, Microsoft is not even half bad when compared to apple ( and I know I owned 2 iPods 3 iPhones and an iPad, but that's only cuz no one was on the same level) hopefully things are gonna change soon :) don't u love change?
Dont you see that this is just interactive diary/contact book? Its even divided into halfs wich ruins large display! And you can arrange things there like in some ELLE or something... Soo boring and girly!
@stefaanslots All these feature will disappear to avoid "facilitate" copyright violation. But consumer wont know this until they are stuck with the 500$ device and a accepted EULA. Business as usual...
It looks very cool. I really like the book design and journal interface. It reminds me of videos I used to watch way back as a kid about Bill Gates' vision of the future.
Ballmer is clearly incapable of leading Microsoft. I would have bought one of these because the way Apple is running things...Apple sucks and I would rather stay with Microsoft but thing is....Steve Ballmer could not give a rats ass. Epic Fail as a CEO. MS-fail.
OMG!!!...I rather have this!...I've never seen anything so Awesome...why did thy cancel?...i say they still should have released it...that was so much cooler than the ipad
Yucky design. You work on one screen and leave the other entirely waiting ? there's no freedom of hand movement like other tablets. I guess folding it would not have reduced the size considerably either, making it too bulky for a pocket. MIcrosoft was in their right mind to cancel tihs thing...
@prassun1saha rofl what are you on? she clearly uses both screens, the left one primarily for exploring content and the right one as a virtual desktop. There's as much freedom as with any other tablet, you cold it with one hand and operate with other. Folding it would reduce it's length by 50% (laduh) while making it twice as thick, pretty good trade off. I'm hoping what you meant by "pocket" was a tablet or laptop bag sleeve, in which case it will still be as thick as a normal laptop.
Lousy video, her voice trails off at the end of each sentence, making it impossible to understand. Talk like an adult honey, not like a teenager, rapid machine gun style!
Keep your voice volume up, even at the end of your sentences.

Great OS with so much futures. Apple's iOS is great too, but here everyone looks better. And sometimes at Apple's iOS I think: "Where is this future?" or "Why isn't this future here?"
This would've been perfect... I am really, really disappointed that they canceled this project. I would've bought one in a heartbeat. That's the problem with Microsoft. They just don't get it. The iPad is awesome, yes, and I'm anxiously waiting to see what Palm and HP have up their sleeve for a tablet (and phones too... I love webOS but the Pre's hardware is driving me nuts), but the Courier would've been my dream tablet. Microsoft- the company that canceled the Courier, but released the Kin.
@wutzerface77 accept this was in planning before ipad came out, they were in a race to see who would finnish 1st before they came out with windows 7. apple had been thinking of the ipad before this but people knew about the courier first! apple can suck it, your right this is way better. hopefully they will get started on this & get it out!
I have feeling Microsoft "canceled the project" because it was merely just a vision. The video itself wasn't a demonstration of the actual device or a prototype--but merely a vision. I have a feeling that Microsoft either didn't possess the technology or actual innovation to pull off a product like this. I can release my own "vision" of someone floating in the air but that doesn't mean it's going to happen anytime soon.
@Mafia1779 a lot of people thought that, but now Toshiba released the Libretto. REALLY similar hardware, looks just like the courier! only difference is the ui since the libretto runs windows 7 with some new toshiba touch ui elements on top. so the technology is there, it sold out here in the us in like a day despite being $1100( cause it was just a concept product) so people WILL buy it. all microsoft has to do is make the software and probably bring down the cost/market it
This literally made my jaw drop. How could they have been so stupid as to cancel this. I cannot fathom it.

@stefaanslots All these feature will disappear to avoid "facilitate" copyright violation. But consumer wont know this until they are stuck with the 500$ device and a accepted EULA. Business as usual...

It looks very cool. I really like the book design and journal interface. It reminds me of videos I used to watch way back as a kid about Bill Gates' vision of the future.

Ballmer is clearly incapable of leading Microsoft. I would have bought one of these because the way Apple is running things...Apple sucks and I would rather stay with Microsoft but thing is....Steve Ballmer could not give a rats ass. Epic Fail as a CEO. MS-fail.

Yucky design. You work on one screen and leave the other entirely waiting ? there's no freedom of hand movement like other tablets. I guess folding it would not have reduced the size considerably either, making it too bulky for a pocket. MIcrosoft was in their right mind to cancel tihs thing...

@prassun1saha rofl what are you on? she clearly uses both screens, the left one primarily for exploring content and the right one as a virtual desktop. There's as much freedom as with any other tablet, you cold it with one hand and operate with other. Folding it would reduce it's length by 50% (laduh) while making it twice as thick, pretty good trade off. I'm hoping what you meant by "pocket" was a tablet or laptop bag sleeve, in which case it will still be as thick as a normal laptop.

This thing has everything I want in a tablet PC.
Great OS with so much futures. Apple's iOS is great too, but here everyone looks better. And sometimes at Apple's iOS I think: "Where is this future?" or "Why isn't this future here?"
But this tablet has really everything i want.
If it is real, I would buy it.

This would've been perfect... I am really, really disappointed that they canceled this project. I would've bought one in a heartbeat. That's the problem with Microsoft. They just don't get it. The iPad is awesome, yes, and I'm anxiously waiting to see what Palm and HP have up their sleeve for a tablet (and phones too... I love webOS but the Pre's hardware is driving me nuts), but the Courier would've been my dream tablet. Microsoft- the company that canceled the Courier, but released the Kin.

Sounds like they're working on the Courier!

@wutzerface77 accept this was in planning before ipad came out, they were in a race to see who would finnish 1st before they came out with windows 7. apple had been thinking of the ipad before this but people knew about the courier first! apple can suck it, your right this is way better. hopefully they will get started on this & get it out!

@samplane123 why did they cancel it?
mastermindben 1 year ago
I have feeling Microsoft "canceled the project" because it was merely just a vision. The video itself wasn't a demonstration of the actual device or a prototype--but merely a vision. I have a feeling that Microsoft either didn't possess the technology or actual innovation to pull off a product like this. I can release my own "vision" of someone floating in the air but that doesn't mean it's going to happen anytime soon.
Mafia1779 1 year ago
@Mafia1779 a lot of people thought that, but now Toshiba released the Libretto. REALLY similar hardware, looks just like the courier! only difference is the ui since the libretto runs windows 7 with some new toshiba touch ui elements on top. so the technology is there, it sold out here in the us in like a day despite being $1100( cause it was just a concept product) so people WILL buy it. all microsoft has to do is make the software and probably bring down the cost/market it
