{Origami Project}
Sorry all you Mac users, the next revolution in computers doesn't involve you....yet. As of now the hand held computer is all PC. Last week Microsoft unveiled the Origami Project, an "ultra-mobile" PC (UMPC) that is light weight and capable of doing almost everything you think it can't. There are 2 units that will be available to the US (Samsung's Q1 and Asus R2H) and both units will feature Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and GPS support. These first reports indicate with the a weight of about 2 pounds these first gen handheld will be able to pack 900 MHz, 512 MB of Memory and a 40 gig hard drive with a 7" screen. With those specs, any eye candy games wouldn't run, but I'm sure you would be too busy blogging, chatting, downloading, and besides what's better than Minesweeper? In any case you'll be able to play Minesweeper and do most any normal computer functions on this baby and it will run for about $1000. It's cool, It's small, but is even smaller better? We will see what new features are added by the time it is released in a year or perhaps my nerd fantasy might come true and Microsoft will let me test and review one. Until then...
