Origami Outed: Pocket-Sized PC From Microsoft

According to the Associated Press, Microsoft's new product code-named Origami, to be released March 9, is the design for an "ultra-mobile" personal computer the size of a paperback. Microsoft has been teasing the product through a web site at http://www.origamiproject.com .

AP business writer Allison Linn reported on the development early this morning, basing her story on an anonymous source "close to Microsoft." The source says these ultra-mobiles will be built by various manufacturers and should cost between $500 and $1,000.
