Microsoft is working on their own edition of the Tablet PC.

Unlike the much talked about Apple Tablet PC, this product is pretty much confirmed and in late stages of development.

The Microsoft Courier would feature a dual 7 inch multi-touch screens which would make it feel like a book.One thing is pretty clear… It does not seem to be using Windows 7 OS but a very customized platform which suits this device.

Watch the video. One word - wow!

Image is everything and online shoppers need to come as close to touching and feeling a product as possible. You need to overcome the obstacle of customers not being able to experience your product, like they can in a retail store. Take time to present your products in the best possible way with clear and vibrant images and detailed accurate descriptions. Then take it a step further by utilising a zoom feature on your product pages.

This is a new feature in our popular online storefront software Nextwave Commerce

YouTube to Launch Movie Rental Service

Google is reportedly preparing a movie rental service for YouTube, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The service — which would compete with online rental firms like Apple, Amazon and Netflix — is pending closed testing among 10,000 employees. The pilot shall last three months and is currently awaiting the completion of negotiations with Warner Bros., Sony Corp. and Lions Gate Entertainment before kick-off.

Rentals will likely cost $3.99 per film, with studios getting a 70% cut. YouTube will host the titles on the same day as their DVD releases.

An interesting development as Google struggles to montize the online video giant.

I think its a great idea, I know id be happy to pay $4-7 to have a choice of recent releases in the convenience of my own home.
