What is the Origami Project? It's a simple ruse whereby Microsoft starts a teaser campaign for some unannounced project, and everybody whose mother met someone who knew a man who once worked in product development tries knowingly to guess what it is. It's a good game, of course, unless the product you are promoting in absentia is a total turkey.
Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble says: "I do know that Origami is the code-name for a new kind of device. Oh, heck, here come the NDA* police, gotta go!"
I wonder if it will come with any of these fantastic whoops
* An NDA is a Non Disclosure Agreement, which you have to sign before they'll tell you anything.
Update: So far, the prime suspect is something like the Ruby concept PC which we blogged in October 2005, courtesy of Engadget.
