Hand held PC

THE BUZZ: EXCITEMENT continues to surround Origami, the Intel and Microsoft handheld PC project that’s now offi cially called the Ultra Mobile PC. In the United States, Asus and Samsung have each announced plans to release the tablet-like units, which will include a tool called Microsoft TouchPack that optimizes the touch screen for both stylus input and fi ngertip controls. BOTTOM LINE: THE UMPCs look like “tweener” products to me: Too big to fit in a pocket, but too small to use for real work. The fact that one of them costs as much as a standard notebook isn’t a selling point, either
