REDMOND, Wash., April 30 (UPI) — U.S. software giant Microsoft said it was dropping plans to build a tablet computer called the Courier, which would have competed with Apple’s iPad.
Frank Shaw, Microsoft’s vice president of communications, said, “It’s in our DNA … to foster productivity and creativity. But we have no plans to build such a device at this time,” a British online publication, The Inquirer, reported Friday.
Shaw said the Courier, a dual-screen digital reader Microsoft had in development, “will be evaluated for use in future offerings.”
The device featured a dual-screen and both pen-based and touch-screen interfaces, The Inquirer said.
