Microsoft's One Device
Microsoft is working on making me happy too!
They are creating an ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) called Origami with the slogan, "Go everywhere! Do everything!"
My friend, Isaac, is not excited about this ... but it sounds just like what I want!
This device is meant to bridge the gap between a personal digital assistant and a notebook computer.
It weighs less than two pounds and has a 7-inch screen.
It has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth and offers full Microsoft Windows XP functionality.
Cynthia Brumfield, president of the consulting group, Emerging Media Dynamics, says that "... the enterprise market is ready for a portable media device with a big screen that can serve as a computer."
Yes Cynthia!
I'm ready for the 'one device' that will facilitate my 'get-up-and-go-in-the-global-village'!
I can even have 'movies on the move'!
OK, I could use a couple more hours of battery life, but then again, the urban jungle has electrical outlets all over the place.
I don't mind doing a dance between plugged and unplugged.
They also say that the UMPC runs a "modified version of Microsoft's Windows XP operating system".
I don't know what the consequences of a 'modified version' are.
Another analyst, Ashok Kumar, from Raymond James, says that the new devices need to have cellular connectivity, not just Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
I agree! The 'one device' needs to be my phone too!
A technology strategist, Pip Coburn, from Coburn Ventures, a New York-based investment advisory firm, says, "This is yet another failed attempt to jam everything into one device. The way I see it, they don't really know what they want it to be."
Pip! I know what they're trying to do!
Urban nomads like me want it to be everything!
I WANT THEM TO JAM EVERYTHING INTO ONE DEVICE!
Please don't discourage them!
Oh, and I would also like an infrared collapsible keyboard to go with it.
But if it doesn't work out, I also really like the cute chic Sony VAIO BX Series Notebook.
And here's how I'm going to connect:

- The origami website says, "Buy music and movies and download them wirelessly." (Hurry up Amazon!)
- I also learned that it's possible to watch movies on a Fifth Generation iPod, but the screen is small and the iPod can't act as a computer.
