Origami

Ok, it's not the most prettiest device we've seen, but according to Microsoft the Origami will be their version of the ipod killer. It's more then a music player, it has a small wireless Web pad that integrates a potpourri of mobile device functions, including note taking, sketching, instant messaging, GPS-based navigation, and more. There are also hints that the device may offer VoIP phoning and Portable Media Center capabilities, as well. The latter is suggested by a frame that shows multimedia content for an Origami device being managed by a Windows Media Center PC.

Though the project is styled after Microsoft's Tablet PC, the 'ulta-portable' PC-like device would be geared toward consumers, rather than business users.
