Three weeks of suspense have drawn to a close this morning as Microsoft has revealed its mysterious Origami Project to be none other than the Ultra-Mobile PC that everyone's been thinking it would be. The new platform, for which Microsoft only supplies the operating system, meets minimum hardware specs including Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005, a 7-inch display with a minimum resolution of 800 x 480 (good for web surfing), a weight of about 2 pounds, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. As expected the machines will all play multimedia and run the usual host of Windows apps. What they won't do by default is GPS mapping, although that is an available option. The Samsung Q1 (pictured here) will include a 40GB hard drive, 512MB of RAM, and a GPS in addition to all the specs above. No word yet on when you'll actually be able to get your hands on one of these things, or how much it'll cost.
