Microsoft have finally unveiled the Ultra-Mobile PC that was at the heart of Project Origami. It is a full PC minus the big screen and keyboard.

For input and output it has a 7-inch touch-sensitive screen that responds to a stylus or the tap of a finger. It roughly has the same dimensions as a large paperback book and can go for about 2.5 hours in between battery recharges.
