Microsoft to Unveil Courier Tablet Tomorrow?

The New York Times is reporting that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will unveil a tablet computer tomorrow at CES.

Calling it one of Steve Ballmer's riskiest trade show moves in years, the report indicates the slate will be made by Hewlett Packard and possibly be available by mid year.

My sources, however, say that Mr. Ballmer will show the as yet unnamed H.P. device. The product will be touted as a multi-media whiz with e-reader and multi-touch functions.

As you might recall the Microsoft Courier Tablet was leaked on September 22, 2009.
