Matt Propst also has some thoughts. He also uses a VIA based Q!B UMPC and ..."Once again, BOO slow performance!"

So far we haven't seen any reports from Intel-based UMPC users although Matt Faulkner has done an video review with it running on the ASUS R2H and we can see it works.

The origami experience is a lovely bit of software and appears to offer many advantages to UMPC users. As it stands today though, only the ASUS R2H is capable of running it. The two new 'Vista' UMPCs - the Medion and OQO Model 02 - look like they won't get the advantage of being able to run this software at all and in fact the question still remains, will any VIA UMPC be capable of running Vista Media Center and Media Player successfully. So far, no-one can tell us otherwise.

Origami Experience is available. Bad news for VIA users.

Posted on 31 January 2007, Last updated on 07 November 2019 by

The Origami Experience software, an exciting overlay package for UMPCs running Vista was released to the public yesterday. 

Origami Experience Pack contains these three programs for an Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) running Windows Vista:
Origami Experience
Access your music, videos, pictures, and favorite programs.
Sudoku
Play this popular game using a touch screen.
Touch Settings
Easily view and interact with the touch screen on a UMPC.

Its available for download from here and already, some keen users have posted their reports.

Thoughtfix was disappointed. On the TabletKiosk v7110 he has (a VIA-based device – problems are starting to mount up for these.) its too slow and he’s decided to go back to XP. He’s also made a video which indeed shows a very unusable bit of software.
