UPDATE: The story hit engadget as well, but the story isn’t quite as positive. The comments are though, here’s the story<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw an interesting article on Gizmodo, ( http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/536..<\/a> ) discussing some apparently new top secret laptop\/tablet at Microsoft called Courier. The funniest thing is they mentioned what team it is, E&D, who is developing it, and who the head of the team is. Quite specific I think. I doubt if even half of it is true, but I must tell you. It is beautiful, … from the pictures of course.<\/p>\n

As a Natural User Interface Designer working at Microsoft. I can tell you, this has piqued my interest. Things to note, they mention Multi-Touch and Stylus<\/strong> support.<\/p>\n\n

I also particularly loved the comments. Quite surprising actually.<\/p>\n

If this works exactly, and lives up to the video, as shown Ill buy it. and if they can beat Apple to the market, I’ll forget the iSlab (even as a mac user). <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

add mp3 capability, and why would i need a laptop at all?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can see this being HUGE in schools. I know Drexel just replaced all their medical textbooks with iPod Touches (and I’m surprised to see nothing on Giz about it) but I’m sure if they knew this was on its way from Microsoft, they would have waited to see some prices.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Two Words, BAD ASS. I’ve been wanting to get a new laptop, but if this thing is truly on the horizon I’ll be saving up. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love Apple and their products so much that I (Ed. pee)\u00a0 apple juice, but this… this would have my money damn near instantly.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does anyone else have any comments they would love to share? Or how about a Feature Wish List? Thinks that you absolutely MUST have or you will die a slow and painful death. I know I have my list of things I would want in a product like this, but I would like to compare mine to yours. So, Asus if you are reading, here are a few tidbits for you. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
