Will it be what I need to deliver an ‘almost as good as a laptop’ mobile experience? I have the Treo 700m and several laptops that contain my day-to-day business info. I juggle my life between these devices, and I need a go-between.
Is Origami going to work for me? Or, is it more for people who don’t have a laptop nor a mobile PDA and need one device to perform both purposes?
If you’re wondering how Microsoft has jammed enough computing horsepower to run Halo into such a small form factor, as in the leaked concept video from Digital Kitchen, the answer is that they haven’t. According to the AP article, the Microsoft source stated that the Origami is “not a portable version of Microsoft’s Xbox videogame console” and will be “less powerful than full-fledged PCs.”
LOL, I love that. You mean it’s NOT a portable XBox 360? Hee hee, the AP is rapidly becoming irrelevant…
The question that Origami seeks to answer is intriguing, especially to someone who <3s gadgets like I do, but will I be wasting my money if I get this?
“…but will I be wasting my money if I get this?”
Probably.
My first reaction was, “will it require another brick-like “wall-wart” to provide power for charging? Is this just another device I have to worry about battery replenishment (in addition to multiple portable computers, multiple cellphones, digital cameras, various portable radios, videocameras, etc etc. etc.)
I thought technology was supposed to make our lives simpler!
I know, but I AM a gadget hound, so I will prolly get this
Hi Robyn,
Thanks for checking the loadtime on my site, VlogDiva. I’m glad to hear that it’s loading fine for folks.
I’m ashamed to admit, but I’m not familiar with Origami. Now I’m going to have to do a little search to learn more about what’s going on.
Do you have a vlog in addition to the blog? I was hoping to see some of your video.
Cheers

Monique,
I’m actually finishing up my production right now on my first vlog post. I’ll post it on mooble’s blog (blog.mooble.com). I’ll ping you when it’s done
Origami looks pretty good… I’m hoping it lives up to its hoopla.
