The Macalope said it best, "This week came news that Microsoft has cancelled the Courier, the tablet as mythical as the horny one himself. The Macalope wonders how one goes about canceling a series of concept videos, but if anyone could do it, it would be Microsoft."

The Pogo sketch looks about the same as using your finger. So pretty pointless. I think it's aimed more at people who don't want fingerprints on their screens.

DEATH TO EVERYTHING!

I think the creative/digital sketchbook could be a real nice niche for a manufacturer. But I'd also be really happy if a decent app and pen worked on the ipad. Wacom would be the perfect developers no?

Also killed to focus on something 'simpler'. There is room for a power user computer in this form factor. Some of us don;t wish to be spoon fed. I think the iPad is slick, but limited as an actual tool.

Killed, amongst other reasons, because the 'pen (stylus) is dead'. I disagree. I hate the fingerprints and I can't draw or handwrite as well with my finger (unless I want to look like a kindergardener). Also, if someone needs to interact with my device, I much prefer handing them my stylus than having their greasy fingers on it.
I think there is a place for a stylus in these larger pads, I don't care what Steve says. I am starting to get really tired of what Steve says all the time.

There are plenty of pen based tablets out there right? Courier looked sexy but it was all theoretical.

Maybe http://www.wacom.com will make a stylus that works with an iPad

Oh. They killed the whole thing. I thought you just meant the pen part.
