Origami: Microsoft's Alternative to the iPod?

Mary Jo Foley writes on Microsoft Watch:

Microsoft has registered a Web site for something called "The Origami Project". From the rather cryptic video clip there, you can't tell much about what Origami is or what it will do. Guesses about Origami's origins have been all over the map.

But what we're hearing now is that Origami might be little more than a new code name for an ultra-portable device that Microsoft demonstrated last year at its Windows Hardware Engineering Conference. (Since Microsoft is continually changing code names to keep company watchers guessing, such a move would not be unprecedented.)
