Microsoft Origami

Microsoft has finally announced details of it’s “Origami” project. The project, now named UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), was revealed at the CeBIT conference in Germany.

The image above shows the first 3 UMPCs that will be released by Samsung, ASUS, and Founder. They all feature a 7″ touchscreen, 40GB harddrive, 512MB memory, Windows XP Tablet Edition and an Intel Celeron M processor. They are expected to retail for $699-999 starting late April.

I would wait for the 2nd generation however because these only feature 2.5 hour battery life. The real question is, who is going to buy this bulky crashing mobile machine?
