Courier: Microsoft's Secret Tablet

There's been much hype for an Apple tablet the past few months. Rumors were flying that it'd be on Verizon and would sell for cheap. Little did we know that Microsoft was working on their own tablet. It's not an actual tablet; it's a booklet because it displays 7in dual screens. Courier uses fingers for multi-touch recognition and a stylist for writing down notes. Courier will have a home button like the iPhone, inductive charging like Palm's TouchStone technology, and will feature a camera. 

I'm very impressed by Microsoft's accomplishments. I hope it can live up to the hype but can't only imagine what Apple's tablet will bring to the table. Microsoft will release Courier in 2010; around the same time Apple will be releasing theres.

I don't know, there's something actually more appealing about this type of tablet than that of Apple. I think that a folding, book-like rendition is overall better. Oh, and there's a typo, where it says, "multi-touch recognition and stylist" I'm assuming you meant stylus. Including a stylist with every tablet would be slavery.
