I agree with other posters about the positioning of the Origami given many people have cellphones, laptops/PCs. I have noticed here in the Uk that teenagers are buying laptops and having your own laptop is trendy. Okay laptops can be purchased for GBP600, which is condsidered to be reasonable. The Origami will need to be around GBP300 for it to be compelling against the latest laptops.

I agree that spec-wise the Origami is underwhelming. (Esp. the battery life) But I don't think tablets are competing with laptops, just as high-end handhelds or phones are not competing with laptops. They're intended for different usage. Time will tell whether tablets will be able to carve out their own niche.
