Origami looks really cool

I'm watching a video right now with Robert Scoble and Otto Berkes, general manager for Origami, showing off the new toy.
They're calling it an Ultra-Mobile PC.
It has a seven-inch screen with tons of cool features.
It will ship with Windows XP Tablet Edition, with a 800x400 screen res. The features will differ from unit to unit, but you can hook in USB devices and the one they're showing off has a 1 GhZ processor.
Estimated costs are between $599 to $999.
According to Berkes, you can run Windows Vista when it releases as well.
From what Berkes said, this line of computers will basically bridge the gap between Smart Phones and Laptop or Tablet PCs.
It's small, but not too small that it's too expensive.
Looks very cool.

Hey Jonathan...

Firstly, thanks for linking the nanolog - its appreciated and I'll reciprocate.

Secondly, not quite convinced re origami... bit too big for me. If it was the size of the Newton or the oqo then it would be more interesting.

I'm not too much of an apple fanboy to rate the oqo...

Anyway, peace
