Project Origami. Success on a plate.

Posted on 22 March 2006

I’m finding it more and more difficult to read Origami-related content now. We’ve just about analysed those little boxes to death and we’re all coming up with the same negative conclusions again and again.

So Mix06 in Las Vegas is ending today and so far they have had a few speakers and items about up and coming products including the UMPC.

Set up at Mix06 are product booths including one that shows off Ultra-Mobile PCs. According to some of the news, the UMPC booth was an extremely popular place to be between conference talks and alot of people were snapping pictures of the things.

I was searching around for some info and pictures about the UMPC from Mix06 and came across this photo on [url=http://www.robzelt.com/blog/default.aspx]Rob Zelt’s[/url] [url=http://flickr.com/photos/58774112@N00/]flikr[/url] account of what I assume is a TabletKiosk V-700.(I can’t tell the difference between it and the PaceBlade in pictures alone.)

So this is the first real picture I’ve seen of any of the UMPCs with different colors besides white and black. We have been wondering about how many different colors there will be and talked a little about it in this forum post [url=http://www.origamiportal.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=85&forum=4]here[/url]

There was also some info up at [url=http://www.whatisnew.com/blogs/dailynews/archive/2006/03/22/7649.aspx]Whatisnew.com[/url] showing a Car & Driver WPF demo on a UMPC and Bill Gates talking about it during his keynote.

Hopefully some more pictures and information from Mix06 comes out about the UMPC. In the meantime however, there is evidence that there will be a few different colors as there is also a little red UMPC icon at the official Microsoft UMPC section as well.
