Microsoft Courier

 

The Courier Tablet concept seemed one of the coolest products that could have come out of Microsoft’s stable but now Gizmodo is reporting that the project has been canceled. The reason behind the move is not known but MS’ Corporate VP of Communications Frank Shaw did acknowledge the demise of the yet-to-be-commercialized product.

“At any given time, we’re looking at new ideas, investigating, testing, incubating them. It’s in our DNA to develop new form factors and natural user interfaces to foster productivity and creativity. The Courier project is an example of this type of effort. It will be evaluated for use in future offerings, but we have no plans to build such a device at this time.”

According to ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley, Courier was in the incubating stage but yet to hit the production pipeline.

However, the good thing here is though the project is dead, Microsoft will look to integrate technologies from the Courier into other product offerings. Perhaps a Windows 7 or Windows Phone 7 tablet will take advantage of this.
