  I think someone's already started on the iPad-ish take on Courier: http://www.popplet.com/ http://www.popplet.com/

  To be fair, MS never announced that Courier was a real product.

    But they leaked existence and now they required to leak its death. That is good enough to qualifies as vaporware. Aside from that. I like, "Microsoft Kills iPad Killer" perfect headline for this news. http://blogs.forbes.com/velocity/2010/04/29/microsoft-kills-ipad-killer/ http://blogs.forbes.com/velocity/2010/04/29/microsoft-kills-...

      It's a wonder Apple's products even go out in the open anymore, with so many potential murderers.

      Hard to argue with a title like that =)

    Oddly, it's leak was timed to coincide with one of the dates Apple was supposed to announce a tablet, in order to steal some press space. Nobody ever believed it would be a real product.

      Plenty of people believed it would be a real product, they were also very excited about it. It looked like something very innovative from Microsoft. Why produce such a slick looking video for vaporware? But just like Cairo with is object file system, Microsoft got us again.

  Wasn't Duke Nukem Forever slated to run on a Courier? Damn, I guess it'll never come out now.

  I think this was based on Inkskein, which is not vaporware. I don't see why such a thing isn't possible. The iPad could support such an interface. Just divide the screen in two in landscape. This is what I'd want Evernote to become.
