Microsoft Origami Project

I've been reading about Microsoft's new ultra mobile computers called "Origami" for some time now. Today is the day when all is revealed. Microsoft did a great job with the Origami marketing campaign but now the few companies that will be producing them are calling not even calling them "origami." It will be interesting to watch how these devices develop over the next 5 - 10 years. They will be much more useful when we are able to operate them by voice command. Voice control plus always-on connectivity to the web will make such devices more appealing to the masses. Plus, it would help if the price were more around $49 instead of the $600 plus they are now.
