Origami???

Microsoft has anonunced a mini device that people think is going to be the bomb. I wonder how it's going to look. It's a good thing I din't buy a PDA just yet since I wanted to buy for such a long time. A tablet origami is probably better than a PDA.

I went to the project site and it has a promo flash ad running telling me to wait until 3.2.06. Well mark your calendars and visit this URL

Here is a portion of the article I read at red herring

Windows Mobile? Vista?

It is unclear whether Origami will come equipped with Windows Mobile or Windows Vista. It is also unclear whether it will come with a wireless phone, a feature that would put it in competition with smartphones rather than notebooks.



“One of the keys will be the price,” said Roger Kay, president of the market intelligence firm Endpoint Technologies Associates. “If Microsoft intends to sell this device to consumers, it can’t be $1,500 like the other mini-notebooks. It has to be closer to $300. The price point will determine how quickly it takes off.”

“Microsoft has watched Apple stir the music business with the iPod, so this could be a PC that does to the mobile data market what the iPod did in the digital music market,”
