Microsoft’s Courier Tablet
Sep 29th, 2009
If you haven’t already heard, rumor has it that Microsoft is developing a courier tablet. Its all just speculation and rumor right now as far as I can tell but it looks like an interested example of how to refine the user experience behind mobile and portable devices to fill a need. I am very curious to find out, if this device ever makes it to market, if the transitions and ease of use will be the same as what we see here in this video. Maybe after a learning curve yes, but there is a lot missing from informing the user how to perform different tasks like switching between camera and web browser, etc.
