Microsoft Courier: A Kindle, Ipod Touch and Netbook all in one
Posted by Matt in News and Commentary on September 25th, 2009
Yesterday, Gizmodo leaked details about a secret Microsoft project called Courier. The Courier is a dual screen device that folds in the middle to produce a notebook like experience. Each screen is said to be about 7 inches and it supposedly also has a camera built in.
What makes this device really compelling however is the way that this form factor has been combined with a combination of stylus and finger inputs. Large movements in the UI can be achieved using fingers and more precise movements, such as drawing and writing are accomplished with the stylus. There is a video at the bottom of the post showing off how Microsoft has combined these two input methods seamlessly.
The entire package is very slick and compelling. Since I am an edtech guy though, I’m always asking myself where this fits in the edtech device landscape. In my opinion, this type of device has the ability to be a game changer where other devices have failed to have a major impact.
