Did anyone else get the marketing email from OQO saying that they now deliver the OQO with the Tablet Edition of Windows XP? I guess this is a pre-response to Microsoft's announcement of the release of Origami running on Vista. I guess its more monopolistic leveraging of Microsoft's OS to take market share away from an innovative competitor by copying their innovations and branding it as their own.]]>Mar 1st 2006 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/
but of course im lookin forward to this...any ideas on a well speculated price?]]>Mar 1st 2006 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/The main problem with this project is there is a huge chance the Microsoft will not even be building the thing. It is hard to keep a good image for a product like this when there are four or five companys making their own. We then have another Portable Media Center problem.]]>Mar 1st 2006 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/Mar 1st 2006 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/Mar 1st 2006 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/

I was excited for a few minutes until I realized that this "unveiling" would be, at most, a reference design, perhaps not even with real hardware, just a tech demo running on some cobbled-together prototype.

Meh...]]>Mar 1st 2006 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/
Otherwise, I can't really see the profit for Microsoft if the device is going to cost $500.]]>Mar 1st 2006 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/
I'm sure this is what MS is thinking and their trying to build the hype. I would love to own one of these devices, and probably will.]]>Mar 1st 2006 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/

A website called http://www.origamiportal.com archived the video and even extracted each screen and talked about them. I saw a link at IGN that did the same thing but I can't find it.

I'm excited for tomorrow though.]]>Mar 1st 2006 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/
If you don't want to sit through the whole video, these guys did a scene break-down: http://www.origamiportal.com]]>Mar 1st 2006 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/Mar 1st 2006 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/

And then you look at the top and bottom borders of the flash animation here on the origamiproject.com

http://www.origamiproject.com

Don't those borders look like the device she's holding. To me it feels like the flash animation is trying to simulate that you are looking at the screen of the origami. If it looks like what she's holding I'm sold.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/Mar 2nd 2006 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/Mar 2nd 2006 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://dub.washington.edu/projects/denim/) Denim was a pen-based design tool for "sketch"-phase web design. The people involved used to be at Berkeley but now...yup, you guessed it...are at University of Washington in Seattle! This is not to say that the two have ANYTHING to do with one another. I doubt they do. But it wouldn't surprise me if there was some cross-pollination of ideas that has happened. (Of course MS has there own expertise from all their work on the Tablet PC)
Though the device itself seems like it will be quite amazing, the real innovation might turn out to be in the user-interface design.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/
Oh, so it's NOT Windows... that's ALWAYS slowing us down

Then what the hell will they leverage to make this work ;)]]>Mar 2nd 2006 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/is-microsofts-origami-ready-to-take-wing/
Now... while it looks absolutely nothing like any of the screenshots on that research page... It does look strikingly like, the actual application that's running: Alias Sketchbook Pro.

On a more important note, this thing is butt ugly, but if it truly does have good specs, then I can't wait till someone throws linux on it.

Who knows, this might actually also prompt apple to release something like this, but that looks good and actually works. We know they've got something of the sort in the works...]]>Mar 2nd 2006 4:15AM
