“Otto Berkes, General Manager of the Mobile Platforms Division at Microsoft presented a keynote at the VIA Technology Forum in 2006. In this segment of his presentation he reflects upon how the Origami concept developed into what we know today as UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PCs). He then goes on to preview a prototype motherboard that features the single chip VX700 solution. It’s around half the size of a current UMPC motherboard.”Here is some more Tech News from around the web:
