As details of Microsoft’s all new tablet computer, the Courier, the most heated discussions making rounds is about how it’s gonna be an Apple’s iPad killer. If the videos and specs available as of now are anything to be believed, then Microsoft has got a revolutionary device that could well leave the iPad far, far behind in comparison.
The video below shows some of the features that the Courier could be housing:
Some of the features available as of now are:
- A dual-screen iPad-like device that’s powered by Nviia’s Tegra 2 processor and come with Windows CE 6.
- It will be less than 25mm thich and roughly 13x18mm when closed.
- It will weigh just over 500 g and is also said to come with an ARM-based processor and a phone-like OS (the same that powers the ZuneHD) rather than Windows 7.
- The Courier will come with a stylus and support handwriting recognition plus a webcam and a headphone socket.
- A dedicated platform for its ebook tablet or digital journal. This possibly means something similar to Apple’s iBookstore.
Of course all these features are great and many wars may be going on between the Apple and Microsoft fans, but one other heated debate is that whether MS can provide all the features as shown in the videos without any problems, what with the XBox 360 hardware glitches, delay in release of Windows 7 and many other such cases (Microsoft Surface anyone?)
Well the ball is in their court and the onus is on Microsoft to deliver this time, nothing can be said as of now, except wait and watch!
