Secret Microsoft Tablet Device

Published 9/22/2009 in Microsoft News by Steve Sinchak with 4,673 views

Gizmodo released details on a secret Microsoft project in the late prototype stages known as Courier. It can be though of two small tablets stitched together to make a dual screen tablet that folds together like a book with a leather cover.  The dual 7" screens are full multi-touch enabled with support for a stylus and touch gestures.  There is a single button between the two screens and status indicators around the frame of the screens with an camera on the back cover.

"Until recently, it was a skunkworks project deep inside Microsoft, only known to the few engineers and executives working on it—Microsoft's brightest, like Entertainment & Devices tech chief and user-experience wizard J. Allard, who's spearheading the project. Currently, Courier appears to be at a stage where Microsoft is developing the user experience and showing design concepts to outside agencies."

I must confess; this product looks very cool. Then again, the Zune is pretty cool too. I just hope they don't wait too long to actually make this.
