Another update: Microsoft says the device you saw in the video is from a year old video, this leads me to believe the new device is shaped or sized differently

The Web site promised to disclose more information on Thursday, but Microsoft said there will be no announcement this week about "Origami."

Hopefully that doesn't mean what I think it means...

from looking at the flash, xbox portable or something similar is likely

How is an xbox portable gonna change your life? :D

I think it is something mobile but it has to be something much more useful than a gaming system

The new video makes man think if it's some kind of a map software, probably GPS connected. If so then it's a major dissapointment.

Eh? The point of the video basically is to say it is portable. Though we already saw the old concept already have GPS.

i just think they meant to get the point thats its portable, and ull always want to have it with you bc it will unobtrusive.

and keeping with the theme of the first video, we are all connected... (circles)

i think we already know what it is. its the haiku, actual touch sensitive screen and digitized too too.

vistas current ctp release pretty much ties it all together, every folder you open has a big share button to ease of sharing of folders, theres a new hidden toolbar in the taskbar, called TOUCHUI which the resources have been hacked to show that its a circular interface (erm... ipod?) and shows a lil mouse too i guess we will be mousing on the screen? or whatever

plus vistas support of hybrid harddrives (its in properties somewhere) would allow for huge power saving

Okay, here's what we know... the first vid stated questions like what it can do? Where it can go? etc... the second vid answers (somewhat) where the device can go, so I think the next videos will answer (Vaguely) questions presented in the first video and have a final video that shows what the heck they are talking about.

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
