What is this web site?

I just ran across an intriguing web site that is obviously some kind of teaser. The web site is origamiproject.com and it shows 3 weeks on a timeline and ends with "learn more on 3.2.06..." . I'm going to keep an eye on this one.

Looks like it might be a program similar to PersonalBrain (http://www.thebrain.com/). Definitely worth keeping an eye on it.

It's an erectile dysfunction drug. :)

I hate when somebody asks me if I know them.
Now that I know it's Microsoft - I'm worried.

Microsoft annoucement of site (via Engadget):
http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/24/microsofts-origiami-project/

http://www.origamiproject.com/1/

"So today Microsoft officially flipped the switch on the buzz machine for their Origami Project -- an atypical viral marketing manuveur for a company whose products are usually known about years ahead of time. Scoble says its a device, the Internet's lighting up with rumors -- is it the Xbox portable? Well, we dunno, but as usual got our hands on some pictures. And as usual we can't guarantee they're the real deal, though we are pretty confident in their source. So, let's go over it: these were sent to us detailing it as a Microsoft portable media player, which wouldn't be too far off from what Jobs and BusinessWeek both prophesied Microsoft doing (despite being pretty broadly denied from within)."
