According to Gamesindustry.biz, Microsoft has admitted involvement in Origami, a handheld, tablet-style PC currently in development... somewhere. Last week a video of the project started doing the rounds on techy news sites, and was picked up by the likes of Gamespot as someone is shown playing Halo in the apparently leaked footage.
Over-excited online journalists have been quick to label the device, which is, 'capable of browsing the web, editing photos and playing games', as Microsoft's answer to iPod or PSP. This follows speculation in Business Week and older rumours going back to last year, regarding Microsoft's desire to enter the handheld market.
There's already a Project Origami teaser site and Microsoft has promised to reveal more info on March 2.
Just what we all need, eh? Another multimedia gadget promising to meet all our on-the-go techno demands. At least if Microsoft is involved we know it won't be too sexy.
