Microsoft Handheld Revealed
Origami unfolds March 2 -- see the video here.

February 27, 2006 - Halo may soon be in your hands.
A video surfaced online this week that shows off Microsoft's new handheld project, named "Origami." The tablet looks like more of a portable PC than a dedicated handheld gaming machine, but in the video, a young man was shown playing the blockbuster-hit Halo. Check out the Origami video here.
A PC on the go
From the video, Origami looks to be about the size of a standard keyboard, minus the number pad, and a bit larger than Sony's PSP handheld. In the video, Origami was used to listen to music, send instant messages, draw silly pictures, access road maps and send pictures online. It could be docked to a PC, used as a remote control for the Window Media Center, used to play videogames and surf the Web and send email and pretty much any task that is humanly possible
Finally, Halo in the workplace
Keep in mind that the movie is a year old, and is purely video concept art at this point, reported the Seattle Post Intelligencer. We could be seeing confirmation of the project with all the details as early as March 2, according to Origamiproject.com, a site that is accessible through Microsoft.com.
Hook it up to a keyboard
Rumors of a Microsoft handheld have been swirling for some time as the company is looking to break into a market dominated by Apple's iPod. The Origami project appears to be more of a mini, mobile do-everything PC instead of just a music player or just a gaming system. There is a possibility that Origami will also be compatible some way with the Xbox 360, although it's pure speculation as to if full production title or Xbox Live Arcade games will be playable.
We'll keep you posted as more details of the Origami project surface, but keep your eyes peeled March 2 for major details from Microsoft.
Google Maps is the best. True dat. Double true!
Draw stupid crap!
Dock the Origami at home.

一个在线视频录像揭露了微软即将发布的娱乐掌机的若干细节
这台掌机代号为“Origami”，日语中是折纸术的意思。看起来更像掌上电脑而不是先前人们预计的掌上游戏机的样式。但在这个视频的一个镜头中，一个年轻人正在它上面玩著名射击游戏光晕。
在视频中，折纸机大概有去掉了小键盘的普通键盘那么大，比索尼的PSP稍微大一些。视频中透露的功能有音乐播放，发送短信，绘画，公路图定位，在线图片发布。还可以和一台PC接驳后进行远程操作，玩电子游戏以及上网和撰写发送电子邮件，几乎可以做任何人们能够想到的事情。
需要注意的是这份视频的制作日期是在去年，当时的“折纸机”还仅仅停留在概念设计阶段。预计三月二号公布。目前人们可以在Origamiproject.com网站得到更多信息。
