The Courier - Proving There Are iPad Alternatives
Thank you, Culture Shock 101, for writing about the MS Courier! Although I was an Apple evangelist in the day (that would be in the ’80’s), and I have an iPod Touch that I use for its portability, I have been waiting for the rest of the non-Apple world to get on board with the iPad-type device...sharing Tech Radar's To 10 list from May.

Microsoft’s Courier Tablet
There is the iPad which was made for web surfers and Mac based users, and then there is the Microsoft Courier which is made for designers. I am sure you know my feelings about the iPad. Anyways, the Courier would have been the ideal companion for any designer – graphic, interior, apparel, architecture and web. The elegant and intuitive interface would be able to go head to head with the “magical” iPad. The Courier would be able to use both touch and a stylus to input your design. Unfortunately, the Microsoft Execs have decided to not go ahead with the Courier project supposedly because they want to focus more on the unity of their brands – Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7. Hopefully, someone will pick up where Microsoft drop the ball. Maybe – Google and HTC?

I Want Me One of These
Check out Microsoft's Courier. It is a very cool-looking product that might revolutionize the way I--and others like me--do research. I don't know about relying solely on inputting information with a pen, but I'd be willing to give it a try.

Rise and Fall of Social Media
How do we communicate? What tools have we used to communicate? What tools do we use to communicate? Evidently, these are questions that pop-up in my head and in the heads of many who are trying to make sense of our ever-changing world.
However, in hopes to answer the question of how we communicate, it is also important to understand the difference between old and new media. For this reason I have highlighted these major differences.
