ORIGAMI PROJECT, NOW UMPC, TO BE AVAILABLE SOON

Microsoft has announced at CeBIT 2006 the release of "Origami" or officially the "Ultra-Mobile PC".

Basically the system is a 7.5 inch screen with a Windows table-PC OS and a Celeron-M in the background. It will be able to play music and video as well as surf the internet.

You will also be able to type on it with thumbs. I dunno how but that is what I've read.

This is basically another try to get the tablet-pc to move again but at the $1000 (US) price I won't be buying one soon when I can buy a more powerful laptop for $200 (US) less.
