A tablet PC from Microsoft has apparently been revealed, pipping the much-rumoured, but not officially acknowledged Apple iTablet to the punch.The new tablet will be called the Courier, according to Gizmodo. Although not detailed in the site's story, insiders have told Pocket-lint that it is from a reputable source from somewhere "you wouldn't expect".
The new product will, according to Gizmodo, sport dual 7-inch screens that are multi-touch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers.
The screens are connected by a hinge with a home button. Wireless signal and battery life statuses are displayed along the rim of one of the screens.
On the back of the device is a camera, and Giz suggests the tablet could charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone.
The Courier project is said to be headed up by Microsoft's head of experiences J Allard and is said to be in the "late prototype" stage of development.
Gizmodo promises more Courier news soon.
