<a href=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11732808/from/RSS/>MSNBC has a full article</a> offering more information and pictures on the Microsoft Origami.

It's everything a full computer or laptop is, minus the keyboard. It has a 7-inch touch-sensitive screen that responds to a stylus or the tap of a finger.

Two models from different manufacturers are expected to hit stores shelves by spring, and Microsoft says they'll be about an inch thick and weigh less than 2 1/2 pounds — about the size of a large paperback book.
<a href=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11732808/from/RSS/>Read up on it here</a>.

Looks cool, but what is the point? It seems like a glorified PDA to me...

I agree with you, it seems like it would be just as bulky to carry as a laptop and not as powerful, yet a lot more powerful than a PDA, so exactly what function is it indended for? It would be a real pain trying to write any documents with any length on it without a keyboard, and if you are justing using it for scheduling and stuff get a PDA. I guess it has potential for web surfing with its larger screen than a PDA. But who needs something like that simply to surf the web?
