The issue will be waiting for software. The 'Origami' uses Windows XP tablet. Therefore the populare Windows Pocket PC(Windows Mobile) applications will not work without software modifcations(well you could use the PocketPC emulator but you then give up the screen real estate you where gaining). Existing desktop applications will run but are probably not optimized for the smaller screen. It is just a catch up game with us software developers when new devices are added. I'm just now updating my PocketPC apps to be 'screen aware' on the Mobile 5.0 devices all I need is another platform to modify my GUI(graphical user interface) for.
