Courier: First Details of Microsoft's Secret Tablet - "Microsoft Courier Tablet" - Gizmodo

The Courier Tablet/Booklet Project
Even though Apple hasn’t revealed anything about it’s forthcoming Tablet, Microsoft’s Courier still looks like something that’s simply too good to be true. From it’s design, with its dual touch screens that are definitely a dual win, that looks phenomenal, to it’s performance and functionality which appear to perform better than it looks: the Courier Project is finally something from the Microsoft Labs that we can get excited about. The only question now is whether the price will be something we can cheer about as well. My guess is buying one of these bad boys is going to be similar to a month’s mortgage at the very least.
Regardless, this thing looks friggin’ SWEET! I hope Microsoft knows that i never ever once thought about abandoning them for Apple and that I pretty much deserve one of these in return for my loyalty, don’t you agree? I know you can hear me Bill, holla.
