Even more ways Origami could change our lives.

5. Recipes in the kitchen. Perhaps a laptop used to do this job, but wouldn't it be nice if Origami could display a recipe while you were cooking? Even the "simpler" recipes like when I was a bachelor and tried to make mac-n-cheese. Two words, dis-aster. My wife came up with the idea, so I know it's not just one of my half-baked ideas (no pun intended).  Imagine also being able to take the recipe "tablet" to the store with you to do your shopping. A PDA just doesn't have the size to bring all your recipes on it, and who would fight with a laptop at the store, especially if you have to bring kid(s) with you? Origami may be the shopping killer app. It will be in our house, to me it just makes too much sense.

6. Automotive multimedia. You cannot yet take all your media with you in your car, SUV, truck, van, whatever unless you are somewhat gifted like the contributors to hack-a-day. The mobile entertainment market just hasn't hit critical mass yet. XM, iPod hookups, and rear-seat DVD players have done a lot for the genre, but it's not quite there. With Origami, you can take all your media with you (I'm dreaming of a 200GB Origami far down the road) including movies, music, TV shows, even video games.

7. As part of the mobile audio/video genre, what about taking all your media with you to the beach? When you are done swimming, it's nice to relax with a good book (e-book on Origami perhaps) and some smooth tunes. Sun-bathing is one of the top activities at the beach. What if you could read, listen, play, and in a perfect Wi-Fi enabled world SURF the net while you watch others surf the waves? Or play your favorite games, bejeweled, insane aquarium, dynomite, sodoku, mah jongg or {insert your favorite game here}? That sound like summer to me.
