Microsoft Courier Tablet: or, back to the future

Gizmodo broke a story about a Microsoft dual-screen, multitouch table currently in the “late-prototype” development phases, dubbed “Courier”. This means that the prototypes are working and being refined, and the design concept is now being shared with other agencies who might have a hand in development, such as third party software vendors, channel partners, or testers. While the device certainly looks cool, long time Apple fans and more recent converts will feel an eerie sense of deja vu watching the video (after the jump).
