1. Comment - Microsoft Unfolds 'Origami' as UMPC

   (Mar 11, 2006 - 2:05 AM)

   I would have to say it looks slick. The applications need to be diverse. As a network tech this could be an option to develop software that works like a "fluke" network analyzer. Possible other type of hardware could be adapted software wise and plugable through the network jack.
   
   I do see the limited options in this item. No real function as an over sized PDA. Only semi cheaper than a laptop of equal stats. The more screen and battery life is worth the extra $200 for a laptop.
   
   I do see some promise but not a real driving reason to purchase, but we will see what offerings software wise it brings.
   
   List of things to do on an UMPC:
   -browse the web
   -edit documents
   -play solitare
   -possible voice chat for VOIP with video capablity.
   -possible remote control for home
   -Play DVDs/Music/other audio/video -limited time though
   -Remote access device for a network(think nursing station, on the spot network control device)
   
   That end my list, looks like a bit, but not much..oddly enough.the only real thing missing is game play..real game play..on a 7 inch screen the only thing I woudl play is Role playing anyway, but great type of games for travel and may be technically capable of doing so.
