Microsoft Courier: Wow, someone is paying attention in Redmond

I hope this 7 inch tablet has something like a 500dpi display. If we learned anything from Tablet PC, it was that writing at 72 or 96dpi sucks.

I really liked the simple drag-to-right collaboration interface. There are some interesting ideas here. Too bad it's just a concept. The devil for these devices is in the execution details.

I'm more impressed by the music than this. Also, nice google maps there.

looks like they are always going to keep their good ideas in prototype mode. Look at Microsoft surface which started in 2006, and it isn't even on sale yet.
