Microsoft's OrigamiProject.com is updated, not that week 3 contained much we didn't already know. There are however, a few links to new information which is very helpful and informative including Origami's main page and GottaBeMobile.com as well as Intel's Video. Microsoft's official UMPC website has a lot of information including specs, typical uses for Origami devices, and even some flash-based "product tours" for the Samsung and ASUS models. Intel has some info, more from a highly technical perspective as is Intel's tradition.

The big debate right now is whether Origami is even a viable device. Many blogs don't think so, but I think it has great potential. Does anyone remember the first iPod? It was nothing like it is now, even abysmal compared to 5th generation iPods. Origami needs time to unfold. The first devices look much better than the initial speculative reports. They contain digital cameras for video-conferencing, media card slots, a prop stand on certain models,  and it runs a full version of XP Media Center Edition. Microsoft's touch-pack will enhance the device even more.

Origami may not support the latest in gaming, but it will do gaming, and for the skeptics, yes it will play more than just solitaire and minesweeper. It may not yet run Halo all that well, but it depends on the hardware. Halo may become available when better devices emerge from the shadows. My guess is that Vista will run on even current models of Origami devices, but will run better in the future. There is no doubt in my mind that higher-end games will run on Origami soon. If that isn't good enough for hard-core gamers, there is always the Xbox. The big plus is most of the software you already have can be loaded on it.

This is only the beginning.
