A PC on the go.
From the video, Origami looks to be about the size of a standard keyboard, minus the number pad, and a bit larger than Sony's PSP handheld. In the video, Origami was used to listen to music, send instant messages, draw silly pictures, access road maps and send pictures online. It could be docked to a PC, used as a remote control for the Window Media Center, used to play videogames and surf the Web and send email and pretty much any task that is humanly possible.
Finally, Halo in the workplace.
Keep in mind that the movie is a year old, and is purely video concept art at this point, reported the Seattle Post Intelligencer. We could be seeing confirmation of the project with all the details as early as March 2, according to Origamiproject.com, a site that is accessible through Microsoft.com.
Hook it up to a keyboard.
Rumors of a Microsoft handheld have been swirling for some time as the company is looking to break into a market dominated by Apple's iPod. The Origami project appears to be more of a mini, mobile do-everything PC instead of just a music player or just a gaming system. There is a possibility that Origami will also be compatible some way with the Xbox 360, although it's pure speculation as to if full production title or Xbox Live Arcade games will be playable.
We'll keep you posted as more details of the Origami project surface, but keep your eyes peeled March 2 for major details from Microsoft.
Google Maps is the best. True dat. Double true!
Draw stupid crap!
