Ryan Carter at The Unofficial Microsoft Weblog shares his reasons for why Microsoft’s Origami device may be huge. My favorite reasons he mentions are: Free VoIP and Portable Movie Player
Free VoIP would be huge for obvious reasons surrounding the fact that VoIP phone service is a booming venture and more wide spread wi-fi locations are also growing.
Ryan’s statement that Origami as a portable movie device makes sense too. He asks the question (as have I to myself), why would someone want to spend additional money on a PSP version of a movie, instead of buying the original DVD they can watch at home and a product that would let them watch that video and any others in a managed copyright environment as well?
