here is a video. Although there is no official word on it, but one thing is for sure, if it comes just as it is in video, I am definitely buying it.

More details on Microsoft Courier.

Microsoft Courier is the codename for the rumoured upcoming Booklet PC from Microsoft. The unit will contain two multi-touch screens that face each other in a book form factor, and will utilize a stylus and finger touch for input. The device is hinged like a book, with the seven-inch screens facing each other when the "book" is closed.

A 3-megapixel digital camera with 4x zoom is integrated into the prototype system, and the final model may contain an inductive charging pad for charging batteries wirelessly.

Reports have indicated that the system was largely developed outside of the normal development channels and existence of the project was only known by a few key engineers.

Microsoft has given no official indication when (or if) the unit will be available for purchase, or how much it will cost, though there have been some reports that the delivery goal is "mid-2010".

Microsoft currently classifies the project as in "incubation", which is further along than a "research" project but is not yet in the commercial pipeline.

Microsoft is currently enhancing the user experience by giving demonstrations to and enlisting help from outside agencies, similar to the development cycles of the Xbox and Xbox 360.
