These two devices have rumors and speculations surrounding them in an aura of excitement and anticipation. Both of them are supposed to exist, both of them are still in hiding. They are both supposed to be game changers for the software industry. Right on target together to hit the market and take it over in the PC tablet market. Neither company Microsoft or Apple are officially saying anything. One is a 2 screen tablet, one screen on the other. Both are exciting, change of the time devices. Mystery surrounds them both. The guessing game continues. It would be nice to wake up one morning and surf through the news and actually see an official report on either one of them. They both sound like great products, the competition would be fierce if they finally hit the market together. The unofficial specs on both of them are similar. Would be a tough decision having to decide on one or the other.
Imaginary and unofficial:

It is to have a seven-inch screen and run a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB shared L2 cache and 1066MHz system bus. It will be sold with 2GB of RAM, but will support up to 8GB. The iSlate will feature a 120GB SATA hard drive that spins at 4200rpm.” Other specs include a “built-in iSight camera and projector; multitouch display with oleophobic coating; two USB ports and an SD slot; stereo speakers with mic and optical digital output; and gigabit ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. It will run “Mac OS X Clouded Leopard v10.7.”
Specs for The Courier:
It to have multi-touch 7-inch screens that can be used for writing, flicking, and drawing with a stylus pen, or navigating with your fingers. It can collect and hold almost any kind of content, web clippings, notes, diagrams, drawings, or photos, each item gets a timestamp and geotag. The hinge doubles as a “pocket” to hold items you want to move from one page to another. Microsoft’s tablet heritage is digital ink-oriented, and this interface works with the Surface touch computer and the Zune HD. It has been reported to run on top of Windows 7. The pen is more than just the old fashioned stylus, it comes with two buttons, an eraser and different drawing modes activated by a twisting mechanism. The rear button is an undo action, while the front button is a quick-select. You can also use finger gestures to interact with the device. It has a camera mode, that uses the “Cloud” system which provides you with the web-based access to your Journal, where you can share it on line.
If you can have only one, which would it be?

The processor is tagged as just a bit more recent design number however it and also the GPU are likely the similar speed as the 3GS. The old Contact with the similar Processor and GPU as the 3G was quicker. Besides getting the clock speed turned up greater the Touch has much less software to run because it is not a phone. It should do better than any iPhone to this day in overall performance.
