Courier - Microsoft's secret computer product

While the technology world is waiting for Apple Tablet, Microsoft also nurtures its own device with a 7-inch multi-touch screen .

Courier, the product model is in the final stage of development, not really a tablet (a tablet computer) but like a booklet. The product contrasts with what people expect of the Apple Tablet when it comes to two screens, in addition to finger input, which allows you to write or draw with pen.

According to Gizmodo technology site, until recently, this project was done quite secretly, only a few leaders and engineers involved directly know about Courier. This is just one of several tablet prototypes that Microsoft intends to develop.

Tablet PC has long been the dream of chairman Bill Gates, who hoped this line of devices will continue to be researched and developed even when he no longer spends much time on Microsoft.

However, the information about the product that appeared at the time when people were expecting Apple Tablet made many people think that Microsoft wasted a decade struggling with the concept only to become a latecomer.

Microsoft representatives declined to comment on Courier-related information.
