Planshetnik-book Microsoft Courier: description of the interface

Resource Gizmodo, who previously published the first information about the Tablet PC Microsoft Courier, now posted a complete description of its interface. Microsoft Courier differs from conventional planshetnikov: he made in book form with two touch-sensitive display. According to the source, now he is at the stage of early prototype, but the pictures - and do concept. Interface Courier, in fact, resembles a book: it seems to consist of multiple pages, each of which is available any content: it can be text, images, handwritten notes and the like.

Interface Microsoft Courier includes:
• Support sign multi-touch (one control and two fingers)
• Smart Agenda - similar homescreen with basic information, including time, date, weather forecast, received the message and so on
• Library - library files
• Journal Overview - displays all the pages with their contents, you can search
• Cloud - working together with the documentation and access to files via the Internet.
• Browser history it appears as a kind of files (like a vertical version of Cover Flow)
• Infinite Journal - magazine for records and drawings with numbered pages
• Ability to "drag" elements from page to page

Separately it is necessary to provide a stylus, which will be attached to the Courier. He has a few buttons: one of them can erase written (a stylus is used as an "eraser"), the other cancels the previous action and another - switch modes. The company Microsoft, in turn, the existence of such a formulation does not confirm, so it is not clear when the Courier will be released.
