I know, you probably haven't had time to catch the buzz about Origami, but if you did you'd also have heard of UMPCs - Ultra Mobile Personal Computers.
Origami is the name Microsoft's Mobile Hardware and Application Development Team's Otto Berkes gave to a suite of software utilities designed for mobile professionals using devices loaded with Windows Vista and or Windows XP. The utilities depend on a touchscreen interface. TouchPack is a launcher application designed for touchscreens and DialKeys is a thumb-based text input "wheel" on either side of the screen. There are additional utilities, but you get the picture (from Engadget)
UMPCs use the touchscreen operating system. How do you use UMPCs? Check out the video on the new UMPCommunity site.
At Pano Cap, UMPCs would be perfect for sales staff. Imagine other mobile professionals like police, medical personnel, etc. too.

Don,
Correction , it runs on pre-installed Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows XP software and NOT on Vista
Thanks for the correction, Peter.
Cheers,
Don
