Everywhere on the blogosphere these days is Origami this and Origami that... The latest buzz is that Intel and Samsung have something cooking for Microsoft's Origami announcement on March 9th. The consensus is that Origami is most likely a Windows XP Ultraportable Tablet standard with emphasis on wireless everything (accessories, communication/networking, etc.).

I'm actually much more interested in what Apple could do in this space. Apple's Newton was ahead of it's time and obviously underpowered by today's standards. With all these patents cropping up on Digg and Engadget related to multi-point touchscreen interfaces and combo screen/imaging/sensor devices, Apple HAS to have something up it's sleeve. They're even hiring new people to work on the Finder (finally!).

What would really be cool is if Apple released a product that combined a Video iPod, PDA/ultraportable Comp with a streamlined version of OSX. Throw in BlueTooth, WiFi (Airport Extreme..sorry), and a multi-point touch screen interface and we've got ourselves a winner! Throw in a Quad-band GSM phone with 3G networking and we're talking "Game-Over" for the competition.
