Microsoft vs. Apple

“Who would you rather sleep with?”

So we all know there are some pretty amazing tech gadgets on the horizon. Apple fan boys are practically creaming over the rumored Mac tablet, but lately rumors of a new tablet have emerged. Has anyone else heard of the Microsoft Courier? While none of these machines actually exists, I thought it would be fun to do a side-by-side comparison anyway.

I am light enough for hipsters to carry around, don't worry.

What has made us so hard about the Mac tablet? This bad boy is said to completely blow away all competition. With rumors of models with and without 3G connectivity, price points from $600.00 to $1000.00 and an integrated web cam so you can handle yourself as well as the tablet. What’s not to like? There are also rumors that Apple has been talking to quite a few publishers about digital ink. Some speculate this tablet will be nothing more then a glorified e-reader while others think it could completely destroy the netbook market. Apple is famous for their secrecy, so the Mac Tablet is really anyone’s guess.

Now you can BSOD while on the go.

On the flip side, Microsoft delivers us the Courier videos. If you have not seen this beauty in action, please check out the link below.

Microsoft has said the courier is in product development at the moment, but what a concept. Dual screens that react to a pen, and your able to hand write your notes? This completely blows away the idea of a virtual keyboard. With the ability to surf the Internet and paste clippings into whatever you’re working on, projects become a snap. There is also a camera for taking pictures, and it folds up into a much smaller easier to carry notebook shape. Should Microsoft release this product, I can see it in college classrooms everywhere.

No matter who blows you best, both Microsoft and Apple are sure to wow their fans this year. Bring on 2010 and all the gadgets that come with!
