Touch only input is fine for a small phone which is not used for real computer functions and for large tablets where you have more real estate to view things. What origami should be is a mobile pocket laptop with pen/touch input so a mouse is not needed that runs full windows and will fit in a jacket pocket so something under 4.25" x 7.4" x 1.3" in size that has a built in touch type keyboard. Running a full desktop OS and programs requires a touch type keyboard. We already have laptops and cheap laptop size UMPC's what people want is just a pocket version of that. None of the 7" slates have ever sold very well; how long does it take for them to realize that is not the mainstream origami that people want? As long as origami devices are too large to fit in a large jacket pocket, have no touch type keyboard nobody is going to buy them in any real numbers; they never have and never will. MS get a clue the laptop is the biggest seller, just make a pocket version why is it so hard to not see that?

So again and again I find myself abandoning the OX2 browser and opening IE7 (haven't installed another browser on the Shift yet), even if it doesn't give me the same use of the full screen.

Microsoft should really get their act straight either FIX Vista and ake it run (decently on UMPC) or create a new Windows specifically designed for UMPC that runs fast!.....then again..... they could just rebrand XP Tablet I understand why they want it Vista only… but …many won’t like that…. i really hope for a clone that runs under XP….
