Microsoft to announce something March 3rd?

[OrangeSoul]

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...

The Flash video on that site? I liked that alot :( Better not have changed much :\

intels take on origami teaser?

seems as if some stuff is written on the flash file if u zoom in... but blurry... then again im not good with flashmx so i donno.

[obsolete_power]

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

Wonder why it's not viewable... not yet at least;

And why are there like 5 topics on this?

Edit: ok; works now; just more of what we already know...

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.

[icecaveman]

^That was true for the first video, however the second one seems too specific for that.

[a_witko]

maybe its another ROBO PET! like sony's AIBO! always with you, but NEVER in the way... technology these days - pets that ARENT annoying.. w00t!

But we already know what the original Origami project is. Why would they change the project to Streets and Trips?

[eminem213486]

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

[Coolme]

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.

no watch it say, wait till cebit ... lol

edit: Cebit06 - march 9th - 15th. i thought it was on the 16th for some reason..

right from the source code of orgamis second animation page. meh... xp? bitch plzzzzzzz ill wait

[wctaiwan]

EDIT: Sorry, never mind.

[Zolk]

Why are they even going to bother selling these with a five year old operating system? I'd rather not spend hundreds of dollars on a new device, only to have to spend another couple hundred in six months to put a modern OS on it.

I showed my freind this, and he thinks it might be Wireless Internet. I know my county was going to try and do something like have wireless networking everywhere you go, so maybe Microsoft is doing something like that.
