IPad Vs. Microsoft Courier

admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:06:31 +0000

We all have seen the ipad ( Apple Tablet ) and Frankly it was a breath taking

With all the possibilities you can do and all that advanced featured that Comes with it. We woke up in these days on Microsoft’s biggest surprise in the Tablet technology, its Microsoft Courier.

Microsoft Said that Courier is not a tablet . it’s a booklet as it got he dual 7-inch screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers.Looks like it could Revolutionize personal business device.

The Courier user experience presented here is almost the exact opposite of what everyone expects the Apple tablet to be, a kung fu eagle claw to Apple’s tiger style. It’s complex: Two screens, a mashup of a pen-dominated interface with several types of multitouch finger gestures, and multiple graphically complex themes, modes and applications. (Our favorite UI bit? The hinge doubles as a “pocket” to hold items you want move from one page to another.) Microsoft’s tablet heritage is digital ink-oriented, and this interface, while unlike anything we’ve seen before, clearly draws from that, its work with the Surface touch computer and even the Zune HD.

You’ve better check out that video and know what i am exactly talking about.

Question is . Does really Courier able to say early good bye to ipad ?

They have recently revealed their first laptop, this laptop has a customizable specification and is called the Eon 18.

This high-end gaming laptop features an 18.4″ full HD widescreen display, it also features 7.1 high-definition audio, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 208M GPUs and up to three 250GB SSDs.

At the moment this laptop features a Core 2 Extreme Quad QX9300, however apparently there will be an Intel Core i7 version announced soon.

One disappointment is that the laptop will only offer up to 45 minutes of gaming from a full charge, however if this isn’t a problem for you it is a great purchase
