It's a video. It will give a great idea about the GUI, size, weight, etc....

They look damn cool

Ah.. the mysterious Origami Project by Microsoft

This is really cool and I would really love to get my hands on one of those babies.

with everything getting smaller...what's next for us..
Kinda like the concept of the usabiliy in the car

Cool... Comes with everything!

Wonder how much storage it has? Oh and how about gaming capabilities?

How come nobody ever came up with the sliding-laptop-display before this?

The origami device uses standard notebook sized harddisk. probably the newer SATA version. So storage can go from 40GB to 120GB right now. Don't think too much about gaming capability since it's built for ultra mobilty.

As for sliding laptop display? well, not all UMPC will have that design, most will be using the slate design since it's about the size of a paperback book. This is actually a really nice form factor as it's not too big and could easily fit in a document bag.

The true success of this device will be the user interface. But so far by the initial reports, things are sounding really good!
