Microsoft has cancelled Courier device

In a week of cancelled projects, Microsoft has cancelled the Courier tablet device.  The Courier device was an innovative folding, dual screen tablet device that was getting a lot of attention in the developer world.  A Microsoft team had developed a compelling tablet prototype but the company execs decided that they weren't going to bring the device into production at this time.  Microsoft spends a lot of money on research projects and prototypes to explore new possible interfaces and devices.  It's too bad we won't be seeing this device out in the wild.
