Origami, no thanks!
Graham seems to quite like the Origami, but I am not so sure. I already have a Tablet, I never have the keyboard attached and it slips easily into any bag that I own. I really don’t see a smaller form factor device working for me, unless its a phone, and I already have a Treo 650. I particularly don’t like the following about the Origami form factor:
- Seems optimised for landscape usage, although maybe other models will come out that change that
- Low resolution screen
- Seems too big to fit in any bag that a TC1100 wouldn’t, so why bother with the smaller form factor
- I would rather have an attachable keyboard, again like the TC1100, because it works better on your lap or in a small space
- If I want to type with my thumbs (which I don’t) I may as well use my Treo
However I don’t think I am the target market. It seems to be more aimed at the person who wants a more flexible games console. When you get one Graham I would like to have a play though!
Just in case you haven’t found it yourself – I think Microsoft Monitor has the best comment so far.
I just think that the Origai has auch higher Wife Acceptance Factor than the Tablet.
And yes, of course you can have a play.
