A recently announced mini tables PC dubbed Origami has been rumored to be in the process of development by Microsoft and other manufacturers not mentioned at this time. It’s still unknown as to what it can do but there are rumors that it will include GPS, USB capabilities as well as remote accessing any computer with Windows Media Center.

What is called the Origami Project by Microsoft, the mini tablet PC is said to be able to use remote access to accomplish basic tasks that a user would on a PC like listen to music, instant message and other day-to-day tasks.

Not a lot is said about the project itself, and by some like Sam Bhavnani, an analyst for Current Analysis, the Origami is said to not even exist. Even though Microsoft announced that they are working on a handheld device under the name 'Origami Project' it is not clear as to what it is. Some believe that this new handheld is to be a portable multimedia center, something like the PSP from Sony. In my understanding it is quite possible since the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are in such a battle, Microsoft is trying to enter the handheld market to beat out the PSP.

"Think about it for a second, how many time have you had to patch your PSP for viruses and attacks?... Exactly!"
