Computers without keyboards are cumbersome pains in the ass. It's been proven repeatedly.]]>Nov 4th 2009 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/
This isn't a laptop without a keyboard, it's a new device designed from the ground up to be controlled with a pen and multitouch gestures.

The reason why traditional pen-based tablets suck is because they're running on interfaces designed for a mouse and keyboard and are intended to replace a laptop. This is none of those things.]]>Nov 4th 2009 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/Nov 4th 2009 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/Nov 4th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/Nov 4th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/Nov 4th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/
There's something about it that's really elemental -- I feel like the concept brings together a bunch of different technologies that are useful, but at least not totally natural for me... mobile phones, netbooks, etc.

If I could use this instead of my phone for all of my calendar keeping, note taking, drawing, etc... that would seriously change my life.

+1 this needs to exist. ]]>Nov 4th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/Nov 4th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/
The main thing that Courier features over a tablet PC and OneNote is potentially better (we don't really know) Outlook integration, and a sleeker dual screen design.]]>Nov 4th 2009 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/

Your comment history also seems to be pro Apple, anti-MS. Do you have the same attitude towards Apple? Apple generally announces a new device without letting people get their hands on it before it is sold. When/if Apple releases their tablet, will you say the same thing and refuse to buy it until it has a full review and time for people to put it through the paces to make sure it works properly?]]>Nov 4th 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/Nov 4th 2009 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/Nov 4th 2009 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/

One thing to notice. It is probably 1 screen even though it's split. So imagine using the snap left and right feature. It just makes sense.]]>Nov 4th 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/

Please don't get my holiday hopes up, there is no way this thing is coming out that soon without much more press already. CES 2010 unfortunately sounds more likely.

I think smartphones and tablets are going to change electronics in a drastic way. It's so exciting. We have Apple, Google, Microsoft, Intel and so many other companies to thank for this. I hope they keep pushing each other to innovate and make better, higher quality products.

If we can improve battery technology and make the internet faster, cheaper, and more available and then we will see even greater technological evolution.]]>Nov 4th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-courier-interface-explained-in-more-detail/
