Well, I have to give Microsoft some credit on this one. I mostly hate everything they make (after trying it of course) and ever since Windows7 they've been coming up with good ideas.

This gadget for example is very-very interesting and useful. It may not have a 500,000 app appstore, a huge iPod Touch desing and an Apple logo on the back...but hey, it has multitouch, camera, and some very useful apps. Let's just hope that MS knows of a good way to make new apps accessible on the device, and make the customer go over a retail store to buy a disc to put in your computer and tether the Courier to it( just like windows-based smartphones except for the store part).

Anyway, it looks nice. Since Apple is concentrating all of its might in bringing down the mobile gaming industry with their iDevices, other companies can now make similar gadgets with apps and features that are actually useful and productive, and not just "nice to have".
