The Seattle Times: Microsoft: Little PC a big step

The Seattle Times: Microsoft: Little PC a big step: "Computer companies took the bait. This week Microsoft and Intel are announcing that the first generation of UMPCs will go on sale later this year. They're expected to cost between $500 to $800. Microsoft expects 100 million will be sold by 2008. The device was developed under the code name Origami.
The numbers are enticing, but the industry has tried since the early 1980s to develop a handheld computer for the mass market."
