Courier Microsoft's Secret Tablet

This is Courier, Microsoft's astonishing take on the tablet. Courier is a real device, and we've heard that it's in the "late prototype" stage of development. It's not a tablet, it's a booklet. The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers.

More M$ vapourware evaporates....

"We're told that on Wednesday, Microsoft execs informed the internal team that had been working on the tablet device that the project would no longer be supported. Courier had never been publicly announced or acknowledged as a Microsoft product."

@xmenyuan

it's in 'incubation' status now, so not that far away at all. I'd say either late 2010 or early 2011.
