We here at origamiportal.com have taken the promotional video originally found on Digital Kitchen’s site, broken it down scene-by-scene, and provided analysis about what is being shown in each key scene. We hope this will provide some insight into the many uses Microsoft has planned for this device.
Onto the scenes:
Scene 1:
[img]https://www.umpcportal.com/origami/images/scenes/scene1.jpg[/img]
This scene presents our first glimpse of the Origami. This model has a greenish/white color scheme and it appears the user has pulled up Hotmail in the web browser and is checking her email. The screen dimensions are perfectlly sized for this type of task.
Scene 2:

This scene continues on with the first user who is working in a mobile recording studio. As she connects the different audio equipment to her PC and begins mixing music, the Origami seems to be interfaced with the desktop in some way.
Scene 3:

This scene continues on with the first user, and she has now moved outside with her Origami and appears to be emailing the audio mix she just made to another person. She uses the tablet to request that this person check out her audio mix. This is the first example of the tablet functionality of the Origami as she is able to pull out the stylus and write a note to be sent to another user.
Scene 4:

We move on to the second user in this scene. A man is shown driving an SUV in some scenic off-road location, and he has the Origami acting as a GPS unit in the seat next to him. This seems like another ideal use for this unit as the screen size is perfect for this type of display and the mobility of the unit makes it easy to transfer in and out of the car.
Scene 6:
