Courier tablet was a two-screen folding tablet device, which was supposed to facilitate both Touch computing and Pen computing on the same device and was more inclined to be a productivity device, rather than Just-for-fun device.

As it was certain that Microsoft would use its own Operating System, Windows 7 in Courier tablet as well, its Killing of Courier project reaffirms HP’s decision to drop the idea of Windows 7 based Courier tablet. All this concludes that there must be major pitfalls in Windows 7 as a tablet OS and therefore, both the companies felt it right to stop investing on something that’s weak from its roots.

This also makes pretty sure that Apple iPad is going to make some serious domination in the evolving Tablet market, before any of its competitors makes it to the stores.
