Origami runs on Intel and Samsung hardware?

According to the IDG News Service, Microsoft has not designed any new hardware for the Origami project. Instead, as stated by Microsoft's CeBIT trade show spokesperson, MS will discuss Origami for oh, about "30 seconds" come March 9th, with the thunder to be unleashed instead by Intel and Samsung. Remember, Intel is set to unveil their UMPC platform on the 7th at the start of the Intel Developer Forum, presumably setting the stage for actual product announcement on the 9th. So for all the teasers, Origami is unfolding into an XP Tablet PC edition UMPC handtop computer manufactured by Samsung -- looking something like that pic to the right. But 'round and 'round the hype machine goes and where she stops only IntelSamsung Microsoft knows.
