Courier: Microsoft's Secret Tablet Project

Gizmodo has a piece on Microsoft's latest secret project, the Courier. While everyone is waiting for Apple to produce a tablet to be used with their latest OS Microsoft has been working with third party developers and consultants to produce something very different from what we have seen in the past.

The Courier has two 7 inch screens side by side that are capable of multitouch and pen input. It seems to be using an interface similar to that of the Microsoft surface. There is no physical keyboard. All signs point to this being a real device that is in a late prototype stage.

This thing looks pretty cool in my opinion. I await further details and most importantly, pricing information. You can read more about it and see a concept video by following this link to Gizmodo's site.
