A new class of mobile computers? It would seem that DO or HSDPA would be almost an automatic for "Ultra Mobile PC's". Of course, this could just be a new version of tablet PC's which never managed to take off. engadget.com So we’ve all heard the Origami spin by now, right? Today brought us a bit more info with "find out 3.9.06..." on the project website (and it looks like that may be all we see from Microsoft today). Of interest though, is that Intel has wheeled-out their own teaser campaign over at www.umpc.com which is equally non-informative but does end with “Ultra Mobile PC March 7, 2006” – just prior to CeBIT folks, or two days before Origami is set to roll. Now we already heard that Intel was ahead of schedule with the UMPC platform with devices from Samsung, Asus and Founder on their way before the end of March. So, put two-and-two together and Origami could well be a gen1 Pentium M-based UMPC sporting XP and integrated EV-DO or HSDPA wireless connectivity, GPS, and up to one week standby. Or not. Hey, we're just speculating like anyone else, and we never were really any good at math. Wait, is that an origami bird in the upper-right quad of that picture?
