Microsoft recently displayed a concept PC- the “Courier”- which is to be something like a mix between an e-book and a tablet. Obviously an attempt to take the wind out of the iPad launch, the Courier is remarkably cool looking and functional seeming- it’s got two screens on a hinge to mimic a book and the core functions will be based around a pen- meaning, basically, it’s going to be a digital notebook, complete with a planner, a web browser, and a variety of other cool things. The size is also appealing- it will end up being, when folded, about the size of a postcard. I have to say, I’d buy this much faster than I ever would the iPad.
