Microsoft: Plans for iPad competition halted
Microsoft has halted its plans for a tablet computer to compete with Apple's new iPad product.
The small computer "Courier" will not be launched on the market for the time being, at least not in its current form, the US software giant announced on Thursday according to SDA. Microsoft is constantly working on new ideas, wrote Microsoft's Head of Communications Frank Shaw in his blog on the company's website. The "Courier" is one example of this. The company is examining how the technology could be used in future Microsoft offerings.
The technology community had originally expected Microsoft to unveil the tablet at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Instead, CEO Steve Ballmer promoted a model from Hewlett-Packard.
