The Microsoft Origami team really does listen!
It's clear by the new Origami Experience that the Microsoft team does listen to user feedback. We were floored when we got the above picture from Sears Young on the team; we just saw the new interface and sure enough he was listening to MobileTechRoundup on it! These guys have put a ton of effort in the new UI for Vista and I can't reiterate it enough: this might be the killer app on a UMPC running Vista. As much as I enjoyed the Bill Gates keynote and all of the great Vista features they demonstrated, I wish the Origami team got to demo this app at the keynote. It's as innovative as any other keynote highlights!
Do you know if the Origami Experience will run on the P1610 running Vista or is it designed specifically for UMPCs?

Curtis, theoretically it should run on any touch screen device but I'll let you know in a week or so.

Oh bugger.
I guess this sort of thing really should make me stay away from smaller-screen units like the Vega and OQO then?

Your site is one of the reasons I own the P1610. I am looking forward to your findings.
