[...] I have no intentions to turn this blog into Engadget, but in order to complete the series of posts that I posted about Microsoft’s Origami here and here, I felt it is necessary to say that everything about the Origami Project teaser has been revealed this week at CeBIT. I am a bit late at posting this but turns out the buzz was about a new gadget buzz concept called Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC). I think the excitement was a little calmed down after the details went out about it. You can get more coverage on that at Engadget or at Origami Portal. The picture above is from Engadget and shows the three UMPC devices from Samsung, ASUS, and Founder.

Thanks for the comment monkeypup. I saw the news but have not blogged about it yet. It sure seems pretty cool. If MS can get this working as it should they may have a lead on Apple, I guess. I am 100% sure that I won’t be able to afford it

Well, MS’s Origami is real. Looks like MS is going to have a full announcement about it today, from what I’ve read this am. Not sure if it is the ipod/psp killer that some are making it out to be, but it looks pretty neat to me. Not that I will ever be able to afford it….

Will Investors Care????? If this is going to be a BIG initiative, they better make sure they actually make money off this. I have a full discussion of this at http://newscontrast.com/articles/viewer.aspx?id=1270 for further discussion. They may just be trying to do a “me too” move here since Apple is also releasing new products around the same time.
