Early Details On Courier, Microsoft's Take On a Tablet

rbanffy points out an article on Gizmodo about Courier, a tablet (or more accurately, a booklet) in development at Microsoft. "The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers. They're connected by a hinge that holds a single iPhone-esque home button. Statuses, like wireless signal and battery life, are displayed along the rim of one of the screens. On the back cover is a camera, and it might charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone charging dock for Pre." A concept video shows off the ability to use the two different screens for separate purposes, like browsing the web or a photo album on the left and using the right as a notepad or workspace.

Ladies love my 7-inch tablet. Whip out your 3-inch smart phone and they'll just laugh at your equipment. A 11-inch netbook? Sure, it looks good in the movies, but even size queens get a little scared at that size. And forget about anal!
