Gizmodo. com Tuesday revealed some pictures and a video of a prototype tablet - apparently called 'Courier' - that Microsoft is rumored to be working on! And, going by the revelations on the Gizmodo site, Microsoft seemingly has a winner on its hands!
The authentic-looking images of the 'Courier' were leaked to Gizmodo by an internal division of the Entertainment & Devices section of the Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft. The tablet device is reportedly being developed under the supervision of Microsoft's chief experience officer, J Allard.
The pictures show that the 'Courier,' which looks more like an e-reader than a computer, has two 7-inch multi-touch screens that can also support the use of a stylus for input and writing. With the two screens held together by a hinge, the device folds out like a book.
Among the other specs of the 'Courier' are: Wi-Fi; a home button; a camera on the back side; and possibly an inductive charging pad. The Gizmodo video shows that the interface of the device is "really fluid and really fast."
Talking about the interface, Matt Buchanan, the contributing editor of the Gizmodo site, said: "There's definitely been a lot of thought that's gone into the user interface. This isn't something that was hastily thrown together."
Buchanan added that the 'Courier' prototype clearly has the kind of sleekness and ease of use that "people have been waiting for."
