    I've been wondering:

    Are the people working on Courier the same people who designed the Zune HD? Because they both have a similar "wow" factor in their hardware, and both use 3D effects (in different but similar ways).

    Either way, it does really look like a good product. All we need is a price.

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: We need alot more than just a price... how about real, working, non-rendered hardware & software? Until then, this is nothing more than pretty vaporware.

    If hardware DOES exist, I'm sure Gizmodo and Microsoft are working out the leak schedule just in time for the Apple Tablet announcement. #microsoftcourier

    @utsava: You've got a point, but to be fair the Courier is about 3 rendered screens ahead of the Apple tablet (which has none). #microsoftcourier

    @Tom90deg: Well, I see no reason it shouldn't be. The Zune software for the PC is elegant and since this device is touch/stylus-based I see no reason why some of the cooler stuff from the Zune HD couldn't make it onto this. #microsoftcourier

    Wait, wait, wait. Let me see if I've got this straight. Microsoft is releasing a touch-y tablet-y thing, and I am genuinely excited about it because of how innovative and exciting the product is, not to mention how slick the interface looks.

    And, as near as any rumors can give us, the Apple Tablet is an over-hyped piece of junk with a following based on past experiences rather than current success....

    Did somebody screw with the time space continuum recently? This is absolutely backwards. #microsoftcourier

    @OCEntertainment: I couldn't have said it any better. This looks very, very good. And I really don't care who it's from. I prefer to attribute excellence to a single product based on its merits, rather than the manufacturer or branding. Microsoft and Apple have had many failures, but also many successes in different areas. Are the tallies balanced? I do not know, nor do I care. But, I do know that to simply assign "win" or "fail" to any product, especially when just a rumor, based solely upon the imprimatur is arrogant and ignorant. For that reason, I find it difficult to accept the supposed awesomeness of the alleged Apple tablet, simply because it's from Apple. #microsoftcourier

    For a tech blog it's funny how little you know about product development. 8 months is the last stretch in CE product development - 18 months is the cycle from concept to actual.

    "Apple's products are built just-in-time to avoid stock congestion or last minute changes." This may be true for ICs, screens or so but not necessarily plastics; especially if they know what the footprint of the PCB will be (I assume so) they could start their pilot on housing right about now and one of those parts can make its way to the spare part guys as heads up. #iphone2010

    "Apple's products are built just-in-time to avoid stock congestion or last minute changes. They don't have parts ready eight months before release."
    True, but design is finalized months before release, and then there are the many prototyping iterations. And let's face it, that midboard is pretty freakin' generic. Maybe if I saw the next-gen #00 Phillips screws, I might be more convinced? ;-) #iphone2010

    @Geraldo: That's what I concluded, that maybe they obtained parts specs not from production (as on the 3GS) but someone involved in prototyping. #iphone2010

    In reply to This Is a Next-Generation iPhone 4 Part, China Ontrade Claims
    The question is could Apple come out with an update to the iphone just 6 months after the 3GS? I think so, for 3 reasons.

    1. To me the 3GS was really more a speed bump than a real next generation update. So this would be an update to the 3G from 1.5 years back.

    2. This could be the iphone being released to Verizon

    3. At the pace Android phones are being released and the progress of the OS, in another 6 months the 3GS will feel and may actually be dated. #iphone2010
