Pretty crazy that we're closer to 2030, than we are 2005. Where did the time go!

If that price tag seems too low for a mobile PC with a high-end graphics chip--which would be necessary to run the Halo footage shown in the leaked concept video--that's because it is. The AP article says flat-out that the Origami is "not a portable version of Microsoft's Xbox videogame console," nor is it "a music player designed to take on Apple Computer Inc.'s mega-popular iPod." According to the source, the Origami will be "less powerful than full-fledged PCs," and won't have "advanced entertainment capabilities."
Halo doesn't take much to run..
So what Microsoft is releasing is bigger than a newton, less powerful than a laptop, touch sensitive so you have to shield it when not in use, has a short battery life, and runs XP. What demographic, exactly, are they trying to hit?
Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends. There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.
I read it, I was stating it doesn't take much to run. It probably can run it however. Don't know the exact specs so I wouldn't be able to make a good decision. Halo falls back to different flavors of DirectX if one doesn't work.

You're pretty awesome when you're defending Microsoft!

Anyway, nobody ever answered: what is the target audience (besides people who like to waste money)? Not music listeners, gamers, PDA-users, or laptop-users, because their specialized devices can do it better. So what good is it? I really don't know...
No I had read up on Origami before, that article was information I had seen elsewhere already. Just because you're late at reading articles don't assume everyone else is. Give me a break. This is you on your usual senslessly bash microsoft trips.
The target audience is obviously people looking for a portable solution yet are willing to give up some quality for ease of use. I wouldn't call a laptop exactly "pocket portable" and it will probably be cheaper than a PDA. It's an affordable solution.

This is you on your usual senslessly bash microsoft trips.I'd say his "senseless" bashes on Microsoft are loads more justified than your senseless defense of Microsoft.
I wouldn't see this as justified. It's stupid and could be answered within minutes of actually reading.You blindly defend anything other than MS in an attempt to fit in, give it a rest. I'll just start using "Wait till Vista" to answer most stupid MS questions. Vista is shaping up, anything else other than maybe Mac is dieing out. Like it or not, believe it or not. It's happening.
