[quote=Tarale][quote=neotransotaku][quote=Tarale][quote=neotransotaku]I figure apple would have been first in producing this considering how they are designing computers as of late.[/quote]

Care to elaborate on this comment?  I'm a little baffled as to what you mean....  Apple haven't done anything that I can think of lately that makes it look like they may be returning to PDA / Newton / Tablet PC stuff....[/quote]

Well, apple has come out with interesting computer designs as of late. From the first iMac, to the iMac that looks like a desk lamp, to the G5 Cube, and the Mac Mini, and the evolution of the iPod into a minature portable media player, wouldn't the next step be the merge of the mac mini and the iPod?[/quote]

Ah.  Meh, Apple have always produced interesting designs... except for that bit where that other guy was in charge and Steve Jobs was with NeXT that is. ;)  Then they produced some pretty boring stuff and NeXT put out this platinum thing...

I'm not even going to speculate when it comes to Apple.  Honestly, they're not the easiest company to predict.[/quote]

1097 Posts: 1/1	Origami looks like a sweet little machine, but it's going to be expensive. The thought of playing Halo on something that small is pretty much instantly crushed by the price tag equalling my mid-high end laptop.

FreeDOS + Posts: 350/1312	Looks like another attempt to resurrect their failed Tablet PC attempt.
emcee Posts: 296/867	Actually I think this has been done. I remember seeing something like this months ago, it was $1500 and ran on a Transmeta chip.
neotransotaku Posts: 946/1860	Microsoft Unveils Project Origami This is interesting, a ultra mobile computer put out by Microsoft? I figure apple would have been first in producing this considering how they are designing computers as of late. Anyways, this may give PDAs a run for their money but I doubt it. Unless there is a lot of value added for this device that PDAs cannot provide... Your thoughts?
