Microsoft in September to talk when he appeared at the Courier tablet / e-book, and now we learn some very interesting information from a trusted source. Courier works as a “diary digital, and is designed to be truly portable: with only an inch thick, weighs just over a kilo, and not much bigger than a 5 × 7 photo when it is closed. Much smaller than could be expected before – this picture really puts it in perspective – and the interior reflects its mobility: rather than Windows 7, it seems that Courier will be built on Tegra 2 and will run on OS HD Zune, Pink , and Windows Mobile 7 Series.

The interface appears to be pen-based and centered around the design and writing, incorporating handwriting recognition and a corresponding website that allows access to all that entered the device in a format similar to a blog full comments. Probably there will be an integrated camera, and there is a headphone jack for playing media. Courier will also serve as e-book device for Micorsoft, with a dedicated and ecosystem centered around reading.
