Tech Thursday: RIP Microsoft Courier

Gizmodo first leaked information about Microsoft's Courier last September, and, I have to say, the thing looked friggin' awesome. Last week, Gizmodo announced that Microsoft had officially canceled the program (a program, I might add, that never officially existed, according to Microsoft), which makes me sad. Now, all we've got left is the iPad, which is just an over-sized, less-functional iPhone. However, many other companies are trying to enter the "tablet" market, but the latest big news is HP's purchase of Palm, and the supposed tablet that could come out of that deal. Either way, I'm sad to see the Courier go, but hope that Microsoft continues working on the concept; who knows, maybe they can create something tablet-like out of their impressive-looking Windows Phone 7 OS?
