Microsoft Courier

With all the hype about the iPad, it's always nice to look at alternatives. I posted the HP Slate last month, and Teagan was good enough to remind me of the Microsoft Courier, which looks pretty 'revolutionary and magical'

Of course, Microsoft is FANTASTIC at product demos; I don't think I've ever seen them show off a piece of technology that didn't look like the next best thing, until you get it home and try to figure out how they did the great tricks they had memorized for the presentation.

Regardless, it's always nice to see what people are thinking about, kind of like going to the auto show and seeing that car that runs on water -- you can't buy it, and it has huge drawbacks, but it's fun to think about.
