Project 'Origami' comes to life as 'Ultramobile PC'


The Ultramobile PC plays back music and video, but also lets users do other computer tasks, such as e-mail and Internet searches.
Looking a bit like a handheld video game console, with the heft of a large paperback book, the inch-thick PC features a 7-inch screen and weighs less than 2½ pounds. It runs a full Windows XP computer operating system, accessed with a pencil-like stylus, and supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless hook-ups.
The battery lasts up to three hours, and it is equipped with a 60-gigabyte hard drive. Two models are expected to hit store shelves by early April, priced at around $600 to $1,000.
