Microsoft Unfolds Origami
This entry was posted in the following categories: Mobility, News
All indications are that Microsoft is planning to introduce a mobile device that will offer a third handheld option to smartphones and PDAs as early as Thursday.
The dramatic 40-second promo, which runs on www.origamiproject.com, asks visitors to “touch” an image that looks like the structure of a cell.
It then asks questions such as, “Do you know what I can do and where I can go?”
The promo promises more information on Thursday and Microsoft has an analyst event at its Redmond headquarters planned for Thursday. In addition, Microsoft mentions an Origami Project on its mobile developer site, along with sketchy details about a planned wireless, tablet-style PC.
Visitors seeking additional information about the Origami Project are sent to the promo web site.
The only real details about the device that one can glean from published information on Microsoft’s web site is that it is a mobile, touch-screen device. Whether it is closer to a mini notebook or a PDA is not clear.
It is unclear whether Origami will come equipped with Windows Mobile or Windows Vista. It is also unclear whether it will come with a wireless phone, a feature that would put it in competition with smartphones rather than notebooks.
