Similarly, I'm a little dubious about the Windows offering ... I actually really, really like the form factor, but Microsoft have a habit of leaking prototype/development projects to reassure their shareholders and the markets that they're on the ball, but which don't actually pan out.
Microsoft Courier: not gonna happen.
HP Slate:also not looking good.
In other news, DC inexplicably want to reinvent the wheel where digital comics are concerned -- there's an interview on CBR, but their site is timing out on me, so I can't get to the relevant page. According to Jim Lee, DC's back catalogue wasn't designed to be read on a screen, so they don't see the value of releasing it in that format. Instead, they want to invent something new.
Yeah, sure, chuck piles of money at developing something with bells and whistles that there's no evidence the market is looking for and ignore the tens of thousands of CBRs and CBZs that are downloaded every frickin' day but which make you zero revenue!
*shakes head in bewilderment*
Cheers
