Worse than the Origami UMPC? Can't be! It was disastrous. Yesterday I read
that they /already/ prepare the next rev. I can't remember the idiotic twist
to the name Origami... but it was more miserable than the predecessor. Maybe
they should actually start producing computers from paper. It will
definitely wight less than that Origami dumbbell, which the user is supposed
to hold with just one hand.
