Courier: Microsoft's "booklet" prototype: A cross between a netebook and a...what? Via Gizmodo
To see a visual walk-through of how the courier UI works:
Courier: First Details of Microsoft's Secret Tablet
The scoop from Gizmodo:
"Courier is a real device, and we've heard that it's in the "late prototype" stage of development. It's not a tablet, it's a booklet. 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."
