Origami is a code name for a small project with big plans. Our team wants to make Ultra-Mobile PCs a device you won't leave home without, but we need your help. Own a UMPC? Tell us what you like and dislike about it. Don't own a UMPC, but have ideas about the perfect go-everywhere device? Let us know what you think. The Origami Project team wants to share our knowledge about UMPCs and the Microsoft Touch Pack, but more importantly, we want to hear what you have to say.

Here's a news article on the Beeb. Towards the bottom of the article it says the Samsung Q1 is expected to sell for about £700. I think I'll get a couple :)

I think they look very cool, hopefully one will replace my school laptop.

Might be useful for those who feel that they have a need for a lap top, but I can't honestly think of a single good reason why the average person would want one. Just for emergencies, a mobile which CANNOT take photographs, download questionable so called music or useless ring tones suites me fine, for the odd call or text.
