Microsoft's Origami Prohect

[Thunderfall]

This cryptic website has been generating lots of hype for Microsoft:

They are going to reveal the product on March 9th... It's a Mobile PC running WinXP, according to the page's source code.

Thats my birthday .

I didn't get the site... but then again I didn't wait long to see what was going to happen, is it worth it?

I say consumers are screwed yet again.

Looks interesting... from the pictures of it, it looks similar to the Handheld PC, except for one thing: there's no keyboard. I have a NEC Mobilepro 780, and that's the thing that makes it the most useful: it has a nice keyboard that makes it easy to type on it. On most devices of this size, there is no keyboard, which usually means that one must either rely on an on-screen keyboard (useless) or handwriting recognition (less than useless).
