Microsoft Courier: The Tablet For The Rest Of Us?

2010-03-05
hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I've got a video that should be pretty interesting a lot more has come out about the Microsoft kurtter Microsoft's take on the tablet space which obviously just about everybody's getting into you know obviously the Apple iPad and just about everyone else including Sony which my latest video was about actually so if you guys remember a few months ago they had a video and so a lot of information came out about the courier and you know it really got a lot of people excited well so today a bunch more information has come out including more pictures more information some stuff has changed and a lot more so I'm going to cover it all for you guys anyway let's get this one started okay so before we begin let me just give you guys a quick background on the Microsoft courier it's a bit different from normal tablets and the fact that instead of being you know a single screen and a single you know just one flat thing it's actually more of like a notebook where it has two different screens on the left and right and it folds so really you actually walk around and pull it it's kind of like a notebook and when you open it up you have the two screens on either side now the really cool thing is is that the curse interface is almost entirely designed around you know using a pen now a lot of people like styluses who i don't want to use my finger but the way this works it's pretty cool it's basically really really heavily designed around handwriting recognition you know it actually will you know read where like you know you write something down and you know let's say I write down iPad okay we're gonna all I have to do is search write down search iPad and it will flip through all my pages into it and while I'm on the subject I might as well go ahead the interface itself is really really really nice it all is centered around you know like a very like like a book almost they you know a notebook or whatever you want to say I'm you know it's a lot has to do with you know pages turning and a lot of stuff like that which really makes it unique and very very cool okay so as you guys can see the interface is extremely cool you know those are the official renders well they're elite renders but I mean obviously they're real so you guys can really get a sense of how it's gonna work and how it really mean II looks solid so what we know about it when it first that was leaked it was going to be running on Windows 7 but since then there have been some changes apparently and instead they decided to go with a Windows Mobile 7 it's going to be around it's the same one is that as well as off of the Zune HD so it's going to be more of a mobile focus platform but that's okay obviously the iPad is done and several others are doing it and to be honest I personally think that even though you know desktop is great I like Windows 7 or XP or whatever tablets really need the room so you know when you go and try to put Windows 7 everything on it I can see how you know it's gonna be a lot harder to get an interface like that ok so that's about all we know about the Microsoft career right now you know it just looked really really great anything between the fact that it's going to have that very unique folding design which you know is pretty much the best of both worlds so far we don't know everything and but I mean to me that sounded like a great idea the interface looks amazing I don't know so much about really being focused on the pen you know and drawing stuff but still I think that has a lot of potential and as long as you actually can use your finger and you know just use a pen for meetings like the intricate stuff you know I will not have a problem with it whatsoever so just about the only thing really the we're waiting for is you know an official word or something because officially this doesn't exist well just like you know every other company is not gonna say oh that's not exist until actually they're ready to announce it but what we do know is that it will likely probably be released and you know the fall or the winter so really I think that this fall winter the end of the year is going to be really filled with a lot of solid tablets you're really just going to be excellent so guys that's about all we know about Korea right now be sure to subscribe to the channel I will definitely keep you updated with everything Microsoft Courier tablets tech you know all that kind of stuff so yeah anyway guys thanks for watching
