Nothing groundbreaking. 90% of it's functionality are more developed on the PDA platform (Popcap games? Sudoku?, I think it is easier to play on a PDA than on a UMPC).

It will have to shrunk down to at least Nokia's Symbian Internet Tablet to make waves.

And this is more a plus pack for Windows XP Tablet Edition. If I want this, I rather wait for Windows Vista version of the Origami Pack. Vista's improved hibernation mode will make it launch quicker, hopefully Intel will have higher CPU speed/low power requirement processor by then. If so, then these UMPC just might have a chance...until then, this is just like Microsoft's past foray into Tablet PC, and PC companion, both of which are tech demos and not suited for everyday work.
