Watch Out iPad, Here Comes the Courier - Soon

Last year, 'rumor' has it that Microsoft will be launching the "Courier". This tablet has two screens capable of folding like a book. Based on net buzz,  it will resemble a 5 x 7 'netbook', only thinner at less than an inch thick and lighter as it will only weigh roughly a pound.

Tech sources also noted that though it will carry a different user interface, it will have the same operating system core as Windows Phone 7.


Like any reliable PC tablet,  it will have a web browser, email software, an address book, to-do list and calendar. The first plan is that it will just serve as a mobile organizer. However, there are news that Microsoft now plans to make it a general purpose computer now. 

Still based on the original plan, sources note that it will have an e-book software - much like an eReader to access the e-book store application which is also included on the device.

The Courier will also have a built-in camera and headphone jack. It will be released sometime next year.

Proposing? Give her the Engagement Mouse

Diamond engagement rings are ancient. If your wife-to-be is a blogger, a software developer, a writer, programmer, a twitter or Facebook addict, or someone who uses a pc for most part of her daily living, you might as well give her something she could use and flaunt everyday as a sign of your love for her – the most expensive optical mouse diamond in the face of the planet. This mouse from Pat Says Now costs $26,730 or just about PHP 1,246,503.83, a fair price to pay for getting a lovely lady to share a life-long adventure with you and to be the mommy of your kids. The topside and keys of this precious computer accessory are in 18-carat white gold and 59 diamonds weighing 2 carats. This engagement mouse is made-to-order and the good news is that you can personalize the diamond patterns on it – for an extra fee of course. Infodose thoughts: If you are already married, don’t fret mommy. You can encourage your hubby to buy this luxury mouse for you as an anniversary gift or a birthda...

The WIPI PHONE, what?

Meet the future landline phone – The WIPI Phone. Yes, WIPI. On its back, it has an ethernet jack, usb jack, and power jack for optimum connectivity and media transfers.  Upfront, there’s a touch screen display, a number pad, and a time display. And here’s the big surprise – it has video screen and a video camera so you can do video conferences via your new landline. The WIPI Phone is also perfect for display – on your desk, on your headboard, and on the kitchen table. The design is superbly stylish. Look how slim and sleek it is! And the stand just makes it seem like a laptop.  There’s a handle on the top too. Unfortunately, it’s still not up for grabs. It’s a design by Ku Bon-Seop from YankoDesign.com. Let’s just all wish that Samsung or some other brand can make this concept a reality soon. Infodose thoughts: Mommies would love this. This would perfectly fit any futuristic living room or bedroom setup. Also, with this at hand, teens may find a reason why they could stay...
