learn more on 3.2.06 . . .
We can presume that 3.2.06 is in the American date format, and hence expect to hear more on this Thursday, March 2nd.
In the meantime, some Engadget readers have found a video from advertising agency Digital Kitchen that shows the device in action. Microsoft have since confirmed via email that “Origami is a concept we've been working on with partners, please know that the video seen on Digital Kitchen's web site is a year old and represents our initial exploration into this form factor, including possible uses and scenarios”.
Amongst the rumours floating around, The Mercury News has reported that a ‘person familiar with the Origami project said that the introduction is imminent’. They also mentioned that the ‘handheld is a slate with a 7-inch diagonal touch screen’ and ‘it weighs less than three pounds’.
It would be highly unlikely that Microsoft will release a branded product. With the exception of the Xbox, they tend to avoid hardware production. However what’s most interesting is that the video from Digital Kitchen shows the handheld playing Halo. With a huge touch screen the device could be in direct competition with the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. We will have more over the next few days.
