microsoft-courier    As Apple recently launched iPad across the globe, Microsoft delivered some good news with its tablet PC. I found some interesting stuff from different trusted news sources about the gadget and I love to share the leaked information with you. The Microsoft Courier is a “digital journal” which is less than one inch think, weighs less than half a kg and the size is similar to  5×7″ photo card after folding. That is much smaller than many people expected.

Courier is built on NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and runs on Windows CE 6
similar to the Zune HD, Pink, and Windows Mobile 7 Series. Although, the interface is touch based, the main focus is on writing and drawing with built-in handwriting recognition. The device will also serve as an ebook platform because Microsoft is building a big book library around it. The device has a built-in camera, and there’s going to be a headphone jack for media playback. The expected launch date is Q3 or Q4.

f the small screen size really worries you for home use, the 710m can easily be hooked up to your standard desktop components for more comfortable use.

It will be tough Courier to compete with the iPad app library.
