Microsoft Origami

Microsoft Origami Project
Today I just know what does “Origami” really means in Japanese – “折り紙” - quite interesting. When I heard of this several days ago, I wondered why they use such a Japanese name (the news I was didn't explain it). However, I am wondering where their target market is… At first I think it’s quite cheap as a computer, but if it’s for working, it’s too small to use; if it’s for entertainment, it’s too expensive. And it seems several hardware companies have different explanations. Anyway, we will see.

I saw one of my classmates playing with a prototype earlier this year. It seems like a more powerful version of black berry, so you can browse real websites (instead of WAP), and communicate like a real laptop without the burden :)

Ha!!!
When I saw "more powerful version of black berry", I can't stop laughing! I think I will want to buy one if I really have spare money - but the chances are very low :p
Thanks for telling me!

Thanks a lot!!!
Here is the Link of the news.

Wow, it seems there are many companies trying to grab this market. Great!

I wanna try the new form of keyboard. Will it really make typing faster? Hmmm.... Looks like playing games :p

BTW, ASUS really likes build-in cameras! I don't like this idea too much... sometimes camera makes me feel unconfortable, even if it's not on @@
