      I think you are talking about the Microsoft Courier and
      this site is not about it (I registered this domain before that device was announced).
      But still I’ll give my 2 cents:
      Microsoft Courier was a great Microsoft experiment, sadly for them it looks like
      they are having a very hard time trying to innovate and get new products to market.

      The Kin phone was a good idea with some obvious errors like you could post videos but
      only to specific and obscure Microsoft sites.

      This is making people think that Microsoft is only good for “Enterprise office software”
      and as great as that Market Segment may be, it isn’t so good for your company.

      If I was in charge of Microsoft, I would seriously consider going back to the good old “Bill way”:
      Outsource Innovation by aggressively buying small companies with promising products (yes,
      you may end up with the next Danger, but it’s worth it).

      I know Microsoft doesn’t want to be seen as the “Evil trust monster” it once was, but in this
      times and with this bad records (Courier, Kin, etc.) it may be better to be feared than loved.

      As I said, this is just my 2 cents and probably the only mention about the Courier in this blog.
