Microsoft has a new device coming out sometime soon, which is similar to this. It's supposed to be their answer to the IPod, but it's really more like a small laptop computer. So far the codename for it is "Orgami". The initial pics of it looked a bit similar to this, but the screen would rotate.

My only concern is that XP is at the end of its lifecycle and Vista will be the rage before year's end.
