Microsoft Origami estimated features
Just a few days ago I heard about Project Origami (http://www.origamiproject.com). Today I saw the promo video made by D-kitchen (http://www.d-kitchen.com).
It's smaller than laptop, it's bigger than a PDA. If you consider your PDA useful, I think you'll find it useful too. Based on what's included in the video, here are my estimations about it features: (You can see the related photos in each item)
- Dimensions: About 27 x 15 cm (10,6 x 6 inches)
- Screen diminutions: 18cm x 11cm (7 x 4 inches) (8 inches diag. ?)
- Touch screen
- Stylus (about 7cm long)
- Different colors: Dark grey [1], light grey[2], light green [6]
- Desktop cradle (about 25cm wide) [1]
- It may have a gps receiver included [3]
- It runs on windows xp (as far as I can tell from the window borders) [7] [8]
- You can browse the internet through Internet explorer [7]
- It runs Microsoft Streets & Trips [3]
- You can play games on it, although in the video the rendering does not seems so smooth
- It has a separate keyboard at almost the same size as the origami itself, probably wireless [4]
- There is a very beautiful leather case that makes it look like a fileofax [4]
- It has a logo [5]
- I can see microphone holes on the front view, probably both build in microphone and speakers are included [6]
- It seems pretty lightweight
The official site will launch at March 3, 2006, just five days from now... Be patient...
