Something New

What have we been doing since we released Origami Experience™ Pack 1.0 this time last year? Well, Origami™ Experience 2.0!

 

Origami Experience 2.0 is been shown at CES this week and is being made available to UMPC manufacturers for testing and pre-installation this month. In this release we have included four applications, all optimized for the UMPC. We go into more detail on the contents of the release in future posts but, for now, here is a quick peek.

 

The release has four applications.

 

Origami™ Central

Origami Central is an update to the original Origami Experience application in the 1.0 release. As well as the familiar media features, we have created a fully-optimized browsing experience for UMPCs and an RSS reader. We have also extended the media features to include feeds that can provide information on new movies, audio books, or any media content that can be published using RSS.

 

 

 

Origami™ Now

Origami Now provides one-touch access to the information that’s important to you, email, calendar, RSS feeds, weather, to-do lists… . All organized into one context-sensitive screen that can change the information displayed according to the time, your current location, and freshness of content.

 

 

  

 

Origami™ Picture Password

This is a real breakthrough for using mobile touch PCs. Origami Picture Password allows you to login by tapping on a sequence of points on a picture; this not only makes it easier to login on a UMPC but also personalizes the login experience. You can choose your own picture and select points that mean something to you. It’s fun and secure.

 

 

  

Touch Settings

This is the familiar Touch Settings application from the Origami Experience Pack 1.0 release.

 

Like I said, just a quick preview. More detailed explanations of each application and screenshots to follow….

Great news.
Is this going to be Vista only? Will it be available for free download?

My question is whether or not it will run natively at more resolutions than just 800x400. It was a pain having to hack it up to run at any other resolution, and with a ton of new 1024x600 UMPCs being launched at CES, it better...

It'd be nice if it were for XP as well.

Yeah, I wanna echo the previous comments about the resolutions. I really want to use Origami Experience on my Q1 Ultra, but the fuzzy text kills me. This looks like a good improvement in usability, but please, make it more friendly to higher resolutions (like the 1024*600 screen on the Q1 Ultra). You know, kinda like the VGA Windows Mobile devices (I have an Asus A730W - great machine, and it's hard to look at a lower resolution WM device now that I've used the VGA device for years.) Fuzz is not cool. High res is the way to go!

Please remove the pingbacks, it makes it hard to read actual messages.

Please make this XP compatible, don't make me clone it like the last one. Do you really want me stealing marketshare again?
