Microsoft Origami To Play Halo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday February 27, 2006 @07:53AM from the now-that's-a-tablet dept.

Gamasutra reports on elements of the Microsoft project code-named Origami, which has been revealed through some snooping to be a tablet PC. The device is shown playing Halo indicating there is likely to be some gaming aspect to the product. From the article: "Previous to the appearance of the DigitalKitchen video, Bill Gates had discussed a mobile PC concept at a conference in Seattle last year, where a non-working device called the Ultra Mobile 2007 was shown. At the time, Gates indicated that the device should have an 'all-day' battery life, weigh less than a pound and cost between $500 and $800. Microsoft has indicated it will unveil more details of the Origami Project 'in the coming weeks'."

...after something that you're supposed to fold?

Do you think it'll play Snap too?

It only took them three tries to see the obvious faults in their tablet designs. Bravo!

If it does what they say, sign me up.
