Microsoft's Origami

Microsoft’s Origami

I don’t have any doubt in my mind that the biggest news of this trimester has been the Origami. A new UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) that Microsoft has kept in secret for a whole full year. A picture of this new device has not been posted anywhere yet. An one-year-old movie leaked but MS quickly corrected rumors saying that that was just the concept that they were studying a year ago that the real Origami possible won’t look like the device in the movie.

It’s known or supposedly known that it will run XP, presumably Tablet PC Edition. Nobody knows the processor, memory size, HDD size, video card type or anything else. The only thing that is a fact so far is that Microsoft has created a Web site called Origamiproject.org

If this device has the site that I have seen in the one year old movie, a processor, memory and HDD capable or running Visual Studio 2005 and a price range between 500 and 800 dollars… you can imagine the rest of what I was about to say, don’t you?
