Microsoft Project Origami

Looks very interesting. I will buy one if the price is right. Hope it kills the iPod. :D
 
just saw something about this on CNBC (of all places) and they said "All we were told is that it will be under $1000". They also mentioned it would heave bluetooth, and that they showed it off with one of those craptacular laser keyboards.
 
News.com has been claiming that it's a mini tablet PC for about a week. I can't belive thats all it is because a notebook bigger than a PDA but smaller than a tablet just sounds kinda dumb.

Let me get my email off my PC and onto my PDA so I can transfer them to my Oragami and my tablet....... yeah it seems redundant.

Heres the link anyway

I really, really like the idea. I think its a market thats totally unexplored and could be HUGE (as in, iPod huge).

As a student, if I could get one of these for under $1000 to take notes on and carry around (replacing regular paper notebooks and a larger, clunkier laptop), I'd do it in a heartbeat. Throw in a GPS system and gaming capability (if this somehow can play Halo as in that promotional thing) and it'd be a done deal.

I think the Oqo (www.oqo.com) hasn't caught on because its simply too small to be very effective as a tablet PC, and I really like the size of Origami. It looks like the screen area might be close to about half of a sheet of paper, which would be plenty for taking notes on in a lecture or whatever (since you could surely easily scroll down).

I'll be interested to see what touchscreen device Apple has up its sleeve...hopefully a competitor to this.
