Epic Guide

I have been reading though Technorati, wondering what this “Origami” tag is. So I did some research and figured it out, and it may become a household name (or not).

So what is Origami? Origami is Microsoft’s new portable computer, sort of. Microsoft is not a hardware company so it designed the specs and farmed out the design to manufacturers, supplying its software, a modified version of XP Windows. Microsoft is clearly trying to enter into the handheld world to hold on to its operating market share, not to make the best product on the market. Reviews seem to bash the product, saying it will never handle the software that Microsoft intends it to use.

• Introduced at CeBIT, the new mobile PC form factor, formerly codenamed “Origami”
