Digital Home Thoughts: Microsoft Courier RIP

"Well here's the deal, according to a source familiar with the situation: the Courier did indeed start life as a potential new product category for the company, one which was being incubated internally with very real plans for a marketable device. It seems, however, that things just didn't manage to take shape, and word was handed down very recently that the incubation period had reached its conclusion -- sans product -- and resources would be directed elsewhere."

Quite the shame. I was hoping this made it to being a real product. But, I'm betting we'll see some aspects of this in products from Microsoft in the future.
