Wow! Microsoft research are churning out some cool ideas at the moment! I really hope they turn some of these concepts into real products based around Courier sometime soon!
Check out the video below to see how they’re using both pen input and touch input to work together on a surface display. Some of the ideas look so natural!

Next week, Scotia Systems will be heading to Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. If you’ve never been to MWC, it’s quite something to see!
Held 15th - 18th Feb, MWC is an exhibition with over 1300 businesses from the mobile industry! The scale of the exhibition is huge and has to be seen to be believed! Last year the show attracted approximately 47,000 visitors!
This year looks to have major announcements from Microsoft regarding their next version of Windows Mobile. I see this is the last chance Microsoft has to get back into smartphone race, so they need to announce something really spectacular.
I’ll be posting new blog articles here and you can also follow Scotia Systems on twitter for regular updates during the show.
If you have any stands or products in particular you’d like us to visit, let me know in the comments and I’ll try and get some photos online.
