I know some are just finding out about the Courier idea now, but we've been hearing rumours for a long time about this thing. Initially it looked like the Courier might be a 9 - 10 inch screen, but now they're saying much smaller - the size of a 5 by 7 photograph when closed. It makes me wonder whether the device is more suited to being a sleek PDA/moleskin replacement rather than a document reader.

The Surface is a real product, but not for general consumers unless you're really wealthy. The Courier is still mostly a rumor thing, and isn't being officially recognized or commented on by Microsoft IIRC.
Also, 5x7 size allows an 8 inch screen.
