Aangezien Microsoft niet z'n eigen topic heeft verdient dit wel een eigen topic.

MICROSOFT SET TO UNFOLD ORIGAMI MYSTERY
Origami website unveiled while curious Microsoft handheld device video emerges on 'net then disappears
11:50 Oh Microsoft, how your bonkers viral marketing campaigns frustrate us with their surreal imagery and distinct lack of tangible information. Imagine then, how pleased we were to see this new one popped up onto the internet, all about the mysterious 'Origami'. However, it seems this one's more interesting than most, with more than a mere whiff of a Microsoft handheld device about the proceedings.
Rumour has been rife for some time concerning the company's forray into the lucrative handheld market, with many anticipating that Microsoft would choose to muscle in against Sony's PSP and Nintendo's GBA and DS in the near future. Now, thanks to a leaked video from film-production company Digital Kitchen (since removed from their site), it seems that day might finally have arrived - sort of.
It appears that Origami is a handheld device of sorts, although more of a bizarre PC and media-player hybrid than a gaming machine. As the conceptual video (which has been mirrored here) demonstrates, Origami is a portable, touchscreen-enabled tablet featuring everything from internet browsing, email, photo editing and gaming.
Of course, it's the latter getting people excited, with the video showing a man playing Halo on the not-entirely-svelt machine. However, a spokesperson told website GameSpot.com that "While Origami is a concept we've been working on with partners, please know that the video seen on Digital Kitchen's web site is a year old and represents our initial exploration into this form factor, including possible uses and scenarios". So, playing Halo on Origami is merely a conceptual idea at this point, folks.
Whatever functionality the final device will hold, it seems likely that Origami won't be a device targetted toward the handheld gaming market at all - rather a fully-featured lifestyle machine with gaming thrown in as an added bonus. As for when we can expect more information, the Origami website exclaims that all will be revealed on March 2 - also known as this Thursday to friends and admirers.
Okay.
Ik ben erg benieuwd. De PSP heeft nogal een hoop dingen die beter kunnen.. Zoals intern geheugen..
Ze hebben geld zat dus een flop overleven ze wel, al denk ik dat er wel degelijk ruimte is voor nog een handheld.
