Origami Experience 2.0 video review
We told you recently about the availability of the Origami Experience 2.0 and how you can now download it for your Vista-equipped UMPC. The OE2 provides a user interface for the UMPC that has been enhanced for touch operation and it offers a ton of features that can only be appreciated through a video overview. That is what jkkmobile has produced and it looks at the entire OE2 interface and shows off all the functionality of the program. I am impressed with how fast not only OE2 is but also Vista running on jkkmobile's UMPC as it only has a 900 MHz Celeron with 1 GB of memory installed. Maybe jkkmobile can share how it's been tweaked to run so well? The web browser enhancements for the UMPC are also very nice indeed. Have a look at his video and see what you think.
There is a hack you can find in UMPC portal which enables the installer to work with XP. i'd provide the link but umpc portal is blocked at work for somereason. i'm installing that puppy in my samsung umpc as soon as i get home.

Gonzalo, where is this hack mentioned? I've tried looking for it but had no success. Could you link it from your home PC. Thanks!

Hi again, sorry to get your hopes up but i was just told in another blog this hack was for the old origami experience and it would not work in XP. SORRY!

I knew it was too good to be true. Thanks for your reply and clarification.

The video makes it seem like this is worthwhile if you have a touch screen, but if you are using a pen it is not clear that this adds much to what you could do with a pen.

It was designed from the ground up to be a touch interface.

I have an iPod Touch and can see the advantage of a touch-optimized interface if you can't use a pen. But we're in the middle of on electrical storm and it didn't even occur to me to use the iTouch instead of my Motion LS800.
