Mike Elgan: Microsoft’s Tablet is “Pure Fantasy”
Tech columnist Mike Elgan comes out swinging against the Microsoft tablet concept, codenamed Courier. It’s pure fantasy, says Elgan, and will NEVER be built.
“… you’ll never own a Microsoft Courier device,” he writes in his latest column. “It’s not real now. It’s not going to be real in the future. And...Microsoft’s Grand Tablet Designs (Take Two)
Poor old Microsoft. You can’t blame them for trying, can you? Back at the start of the decade it gave us its vision for tablet computing in the form of Windows XP Tablet Edition and (via its OEM friends) a series of bulky, underpowered, overly-expensive machines.

Rumor Has It: Apple Tablet Still in the Pipeline, Headed to AT&T
Oh Apple tablet rumors, how I’ve missed you. The interruption of Apple’s Rock and Roll event seemed to take the wind out of your sails, but luckily, it was only temporary.
