Courier Digital Journal Review


This “digital journal” is just under an inch thick, weighing just over a pound, and only about as big as a 5x7 picture when it’s closed really reflects the aspect of mobility. Instead of being using Windows 7 this handy device uses Tegra 2 and it runs on the same OS as the Zune HD, Pink, and Windows 7 Mobile Series.

                                        

It has built in handwriting recognition and the interface seems to be constructed around drawing and writing, you can draw with the stylus or use your fingertips. The corresponding web site gives you access to everything you write, all of your blogs can be updated complete with comments. Rumors have it that it has a built in camera, and head phone jack for all of your media playback. E-books, no problem, the Courier will serve as Microsoft’s e-book device letting you download all of your favorite literature.

Its easy enough to use statuses like battery life and wireless signal are displayed across the rim of one of the screens, and it includes an Iphone-like home button. Charging might be done through an inductive pad, similar to the Palm Touchstone charger for Pre.

It has two screens and it lets you interact with the pen or several multi touch finger motions. It also includes some pretty complex graphic themes and various modes and applications. One of the coolest features is that the hinge actually doubles as a pocket to let you hold you would like to move from one page to another.
