The much discussed Courier two-panel tablet device from Microsoft is now even less than vaporware — now it's just plain dead. 'Microsoft execs informed the internal team that had been working on the tablet device that the project would no longer be supported.' While the Courier had never been officially announced as a supported product by Microsoft, it had generated a lot of discussion as what the iPad should have been."

Can't read the article, but wouldn't a dual screen tablet be quite big, or have screens that are too small?

Or be a netbook with the a second screen replacing the keyboard.
