More Origami / Intel UMPC photos surface
The Origami/ UMPC frenzy continues today with new photos cropping up as fast as people can post them. The latest alleged Origami photo appeared on origamiportal.com and looks very nice:
Tonight Mobility Today found some photos and additional information on that Intel umpc.com site that shows a handheld computer in people’s hands.
Come on March 9th- hurry up and get here!
It all comes down to price. At $500 they’d be beating me off with a stick (assuming it delivers what it needs to deliver – nice screen, WiFi, etc). At $1000 they can add it too the long list of failed Microsoft hardware along with smart displays.
A 7 or 8″ tablet with an optimized windows running off a small hard drive which allows standard PC software to run would suit my needs very nicely.
I think the top image is more realistic than the mock ups where the LCD covers almost all the surface – although I wish the case above the display were a little thinner.
