Microsoft Origami: All hype. Nothing new.

Now that everyone has had a look at the Microsoft's Origami - the UMPC, and the hype has fizzled out it's time to do some introspection. We had been getting quite a few comments, about how Microsoft's Origami was overhyped and nothing but a piece of un-pocketable over-sized tablet PC and weighs too much to call it a UMPC.

Yes, at about 2 pounds, it's not light and certainly not pocket-able, even if you are wearing an XXXL size. Here's what we think.

What is the UMPC good for?

The UMPC will definitely be good for watching movies with the 16:9 screen, making VoIP calls, web-surfing, and in the field for data entry applications. And if you are not very particular, it might even work like a digital photo-frame (an expensive one i.e.). It could work very well like an extension of your desktop PC, to carry around into the kitchen for looking at recipes, and playing games (board games would be fun, if they use the touch screen to navigate).
