Intel reveals more details on Microsofts Origami mini PC

At their developer forum, Intel, as well as marking out their new product releases for later this year, also revealed more details about their joint project with Microsoft to launch a mini-tablet PC called Origami.

Microsoft will be unveiling the product formally on Thursday, but Intel have shown a 7 inch screen PC tablet with a three hour battery life and Wi-Fi/GPS built in. It will run Windows XP and will likely cost around $750. Oops!

Well the price tag should sink that one. Maybe in a couple of years it will get priced at under $500 and have a longer battery life. Then it might be worth a look at - until then Nokia's tablet looks a better bet.
