- MemeOrLame, on 10/11/2007, -68/+12Man I just noticed you have made a typo on the screen :( - hopefully the grammer hitlers forgive you.
- jls777, on 10/11/2007, -14/+50Grammar Hitlers suck!
- otatop, on 10/11/2007, -19/+20The grammer hitlers might forgive him, but the Grammar Nazis are sure to be harsh...
- mikesbaker, on 10/11/2007, -9/+6It looks like what they wanted the newton to do.
- xrisnothing, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16Hopefully, the spelling Nazis will forgive you.

You do realize that Hitler was a Nazi, don't you? - speaker219, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20Mirror of the images:

- Rice, on 10/11/2007, -18/+5Best thing on a mirror ever!
http://charlie.untitled1.ca/mirrors/stair-fall.swf - TomPlansMedia, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33also, intel seems to be all about these protoype/concept devices lately, i think its great. i see it as them shouting "will someone please make something ***** interesting?! we have all these awesome processors and hardly anyone does anything unique or original! here, look, OUR guys designed this prototype.. they're not even hardware engineers, they make ***** processors for a loving and they're coming up with ideas better than yours! will someone please make something awesome so our chips can do the cool ***** we made them to do?!"
- geminitojanus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6"intel seems to be all about these protoype/concept devices lately"
Intel's been all about it for years, and years, and years. You've just never heard of them, because they usually don't leave the convention floors; no company seems to be interested in mass producing them.
This time, things are different. Companies are starting to look at these devices and say "hey, these are really cool", and are actually motivated to try and innovate their way out of sales lulls. It's amazing to see everyone look at these and actually think "let's bring them to market" instead of "hey that's really cool, but eh, we'll keep doing what we're doing." With any luck, we can get rid of the "beige"/"black" box forever. - Nearoschyth, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3@Rice
No, that's what we call a lame Flash rip-off of Porrasturvat. Check http://jet.ro/dismount/ for the kick-ass origins of the dismount games. Rekkaturvat is *****, too. - Livert, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Reminds me of the OQO.
http://www.oqo.com - twit987, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Looks fugly.
- rebotfc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3did anyone else think it said the Intel Donkey?
- SVPirate, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Only if Joseph Goebbels forgives you first... :)
- pygar, on 10/11/2007, -34/+10runs windows vista.... gee what a let down!
- Atomic1fire, on 10/11/2007, -5/+15Make a UMPC that runs linux yourself then
If you want results
Work on progress
- Atomic1fire, on 10/11/2007, -5/+15Make a UMPC that runs linux yourself then
- dtd00d, on 10/11/2007, -9/+10Looks pretty awesome. A much-improved version of the bridge between a PDA and a UMPC.
I have a feeling this is going to end up as another one of those pretty cool things that never quite takes off, but should have :(- KielKilla, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I don't like the rotating screen. If you want a nice looking palmtop OQO is the way to go.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Not bad on specs but they're either paying their designers too much or too little.
It's hideous. - fkr3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I think they need to invent a 'notebook docking bay' for umpc and pda's. Basically just the shell of a notebook, you use the device's screen and have a real keyboard and touchpad to work with. It'd bridge the difference even further and actually make them feasible for punching out a word doc or spreadsheet efficiently while you're on the road.
The screen on that thing rocks. - urgan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Looks like something from hackaday.com.
- jeffgtr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11It looks kind of cumbersome to me. How are you supposed to type on it with that big chunk of plastic protruding in front of the keyboard.
- dagooh, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1IMO the idea is to type with your thumbs, like in a cellphone.

- kenvsryu, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Why complicate it with a swivel screen. I'd rather get the aus eee.
- thekms, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I was planning on it, but did you see all that wasted screen space? The inch-wide borders on all four sides are a huge mistake imho...
- mahoneyt, on 10/11/2007, -13/+4Buried as inaccurate. Nothing that small could EVER run Windows Vista.
- wazzledoozle2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14And down goes the blog....

Looks like a LARGE cell phone.- xrisnothing, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4It looks like a brick to me. It's going to flop and hit the ground with an thunderous kerplunk.
- cannibaljp, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2Bwah ha ha ha ha whoooo... Oh hee he he heeee...
oh... thank you so much for this. i needed that laugh. - KielKilla, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Was that much type-laughing necessary?
- rheaume, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Site is dead, image up anywhere?
- mahoneyt, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1Maybe they were running the web server off of the Donley...

cant tell but t seams the vista phone has arrived- championchap, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Nope, sorry.. it's not a phone.
Though it does look strikingly similar to that TV streaming phone Alex has been raving about on diggnation just recently.
- championchap, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Nope, sorry.. it's not a phone.
- pheedback, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2Is the bottle opener standard or do you have to pay extra for it?
- mpn401, on 10/11/2007, -3/+0If UMPCs weren't expensive bricks, I'd consider one. They are not ready for primetime just yet. Maybe in 5 years or so, we'll see a $5-600 model the size of my HP iPAQ...and then we'll talk.
- Atomic1fire, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1the orange keyboard looks bad
- clark24, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Vista... seriously? Why?
- insomniac8400, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Sony has a much better looking one. http://www.pdastreet.com/articles/2007/1/2007-1-30-So-You-Want2.html
I played around with one in the sony store, it was pretty good. - blw1138, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2what the hell is a scren?
- crewof502, on 10/11/2007, -14/+2If it's not made by Apple, I don't want it... ;)

- mcduckov, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I am very very pleased to start seeing touch screens. Touch screens should be standard equipment on every laptop by now.
- Ashex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You know, I could actually see myself using that. Not as a phone though, just a general portable device. Reminds me of those obscure movies where they have one of those, except double the size.
- skinkaid, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Will it work with my Foleo?

What a piece of junk.

WOW - Intel NEEDS Apple -- this is so Fugly!!! - TheTSArt, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2This thing is just meant as a joke, right?
- grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Looks like something that just crawled out of a Transformer's colon.
Oh well...at least it comes with its own pencil sharpener - Lilbrittle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Wow...that's all i can say because that thing looks like a piece of junk that can break real easy. plus if your taking pictures at least clean up the object, you can see all the finger prints on it.
- tony4moroney, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2it looks good and all but i was too busy paying attention to how HIDEOUS it looked.
never realised us technophile's could become so aesthetic.
guess we've got apple to blame for that. - MikeWanDo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Seriously, 5 inches is not a good size. You either go for an average cell-phone size or you go for a lap-top size.
- DigiSkin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@mikewando
"Seriously, 5 inches is not a good size. You either go for an average cell-phone size or you go for a lap-top size."
-- heh... they say that 5 inches is about average ;)

- dd240sx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1looks ***** horrible
- DigiSkin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yeah... its Fugly... but will prolly be pretty cool by the time it hits the shelves... no?
- shrapnull, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Okay, I own a Samsung UMPC with a 7" screen so 5" leaves a little to be envied ;) Sony UMPC's are usually only 4" but apparently, that's big in Japan :)
I love my UMPC and I've already replaced my Thinkpad T43 with one. It's definitely a first release, but here are my favorite features:
Decent speed with a 1.5 ghz proc, 1 gig of ram and a 30 gig hard drive. Runs Windows XP Tablet Edition, which lets me install all of my existing XP software (including Visual Studio Pro). Has 2 USB ports and a video out, so I can hook it to a KVM with 1024x768 resolution both at home and at the office; the unit itself has a fold-out that props it up like a digital picture frame. Seriously, 6-hour full-time use battery life...absolutely KILLS my Thinkpad on this one (with WiFi). On-screen thumbpad tolerable, but needs a little improving. Allows boot into AV only mode that boots an alternate partition straight into a multimedia app (A/V Now).
Also, paid $900 bucks for it (compared to over $2k for a comperable Thinkpad). It's probably the best 'first revision' I've seen in the Origami series so far. The concept is that you have a brick that operates like a laptop/pda hybrid, but also as a portable desktop unit that can be plugged in to a KVM both at home and work. A great concept if you ask me, because I'm never away from my full-time desktop anymore. And yes, it runs Linux, but my experience is that Linux just isn't the best choice for touchscreen devices (believe me, I've tried them all). - smacksaw, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Lame. Sony, Panasonic, etc have devices in the market right now that are already awesome.
You just have to be in Japan to get them, unless you want to pay Dynamism.com too much money. - JTen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else mention this yet:
Intel's head honcho came out and bashed on the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) program a while back, the OLPC went to AMD then for help with the chips (it's all open source and it's very cost effective, many companies are helping the program by offering new and amazing technology at or below price). Now Intel is coming out with this junk at below price to sell in large portions to poor foriegn countries (which is what the OLPC is set to do, they're actually selling it at price but they have to sell TONS of them to get the price lower).
Anyways this is just Intel ***** up OLPC and making sure their chips (along with Microsofts software) stay as dominant throughout the world as they are now. Sure competition is a good thing, but to put this out just to stifle a good humanitarian project is just disgraceful.
I'm no open source junkie (hell i couldn't figure out how to install ubuntu) and no real big conspiracy guy but I've been keeping a close eye on the OLPC and the great implications it has for technology/kids in third world countries. - DemosthenesR, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2There is one huge problem with this thing: Windows Vista
- verse101, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Mongo like computer. Ugh ugh!
- SharkyTech, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That is never going to sell. It's ugly and the whole swivel keyboard system is just wrong. They would have been better off using a slide-down from behind type system. And not orange.
- digitallysick, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1looks kinda dumb to me as well. Seems light the screen would weigh down trying to hold on to the keypad.
- Shakermaker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4When you only got 5" to work with, you better be innovative....
- JohnnyXmas, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Who the ***** is buying these things?
- bledbetter1977, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Is that an FC Twin IPhone?
- mrx23, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0my god its ugly..
- gordonm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1FTA: "The Intel Donley runs on Windows Vista, so the specifications inside ought to be pretty big."
THAT, my friends, is internet journalism at it's finest.- palmer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Especially since hardware doesn't run on OSs; it's the other way around.
A-duh.
