Courier is no more


According
to Gizmodo, Microsoft has pulled the plug on its innovative twin-screen tablet, codenamed Courier.

Microsoft told the development team that the project would no longer be supported for reasons unknown. Perhaps Microsoft thought it could not compete with Apple's overhyped iPad, or it ran into some technical issues, like MSI.
