    Yeh, it's cool! The ad's agency of Microsoft is realizing the potential of the social networks. On TV, it'd cost a lot to show, but through YouTube and the like the distribution of the message costs nothing.

    movin' on up. i like the "work anywhere" concept they're selling...but what does it mean societally?

    Only if apple made it instead. That would make such a better "lifestyle" computer handheld.

    how much is it going to be? If it combines some basic pc abilities and can go online. I would really really love it if it has cell capability.

    I would ditch: dsl, cell, phone, home pc, blackberry
    Saving $ 175 per month vs whatever they are going to charge.

    It turns out the ad is over a year old and they are in the process of developing a similar "gadget".
    Here is a link to the origami project.

    The movie didn't provide much. It said 3/9/2006 we would find out more.
    I am excited about this.

    I think they delay launches to see if they can squezze in just one more app.
    If it's 3g then they could do ( if the developers add it ) full duplex videoconferencing over 3g hooking in iP endpoints. Verizon is rushing to launch 3g here in the us Q4 06.

    IF MS does then it will be as I predicted in JB's blog that Gates would be involved getting a huge piece of the cell/ipod/pda/bberry/portablepc pie ( I believe gates can smell future money and this arena is where the BIG numbers are - billions of people )in cell phones and video, and of course downloadable music. I predict ( with all respect and kindness, I bet you $ 20 - bet is over 1/1/2008 ) that Microsoft will do this with this hardware or some type of OS and will take over ipod's space just as windows ripped the mac OS and took over the pc market, history repeats when jobs doesn't learn from it....

    I think Bill Gates regards Apple as it's TEST Marketing design firm where Microsoft doesn't have to invest any money into " what if " projects.

    we will see if Dave Z should sign up to be a ' futurist ' as outlined in JasonB blog....
