Intel’s Origami-like device

Intel Marketing Director Brad Graff showed CNET News.com several of the <A HREF="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1040_22-6046793.html?tag=nl.e589">Ultra Mobile PC devices,</A> including an example of the kind of hardware that will ship in the next few weeks as part of the Microsoft effort. As earlier reported, the first devices have a 7-inch touch screen, standard x86 processors, and can run full versions of desktop operating systems including the Windows XP variant being used for Origami. In later generations, probably next year or later, the devices could have the pocket size, all-day battery life, and $500 price that Microsoft and Intel are aiming for, Graff said in an interview. The first generation of devices are likely to get about three hours of battery life, he said.
