Microsoft Courier (Image from GIZMODO.com)

I noticed a section on Karisha Prescott’s blog post titled “Ideal Writing Gear: Science Fiction Office“ that struck some interest. Being a gadget freak myself, I couldn’t resist Google-ing the Microsoft Courier. Will it become the ultimate writer’s journal?

It appears that Microsoft has joined the race for e-reader supremacy with Amazon’s Kindle, Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Sony’s Readers but Microsoft is definitely trying to raise the ante. Maybe it’s not fair to compare the Courier to e-readers but more appropriate to compare it to the latest tablet-PCs and netbooks. Or maybe, we should really compare it to personal organizers and notebooks (which don’t have a shot against the features that Microsoft is touting). Karisha described it as a “virtual journal” that is reminiscent of the familiar Moleskine journals. I’m not a writer myself but carry around a Moleskine everyday for recording notes during my regular business meetings. It would be amazing to have a digital, customizable journal that also serves as an e-reader!

One of our Typoze members Deletia snapped a photo of this typo while recently shopping at her local mall. Below is the full typo in all its glory along with the suggested fix.

“Love does not consist in gazing at eachother [sic] but in looking uotward [sic] together in the same direction.”

“Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Considering the error, does one still have to pay full price?  =)

Our thanks to Deletia for this image. Anyone can contribute photos they’ve spotted by simply emailing them to us at support@typoze.com.
