As if the battles of the MP3/Video/Everything else portable device (MP3 player, to most!) weren't enough, Microsoft and HP are set to reveal a new tablet PC to go head to head with Apple's upcoming tablet PC. I'm sure that there will soon be a battle of the apps, as I think that the majority of iPod Touch's and iPhone's think they are the major reason for owning the device. My wife owns an iPod Touch (I don't claim that bastard stepchild!), and there are times when I'll pick it up and play with the apps or Digg for Microsoft stories! ;)

According to leaked details at that time, the Microsoft Courier is a tablet built like a notebook, with a two screen setup and a stylus, made for saving and sharing content and “clippings” from the web. It also supposedly acts as an e-rader. The NYT piece reveals that its manufacturer will be none other than computing giant HP.
