Do you actually need a UMPC or would a small tablet like the Motion LS800 running Vista run this? The requirements list a "touch panel display" but would it work with a pen?

I tried it on my desktop. 2.2 gHz Dual Core. 2gb Ram. 384mb vcard. still ran kinda slow. i wonder how this would run on a low spec'd UMPC or an HP 2133 on a Via Processor. I am using Vista Ultimate BTW. No touch screen at all, just mouse. When I get my Toshiba M405 tablet back from service, I'll load it up and try it out. Seems like interesting eye candy.

Yeah I can feel the sluggishness when running it on my X61T.

Mickey it works on my X61t, so I guess it works on bigger than "UMPC" standard size. It also works with the pen.

It works slow in my Asus R2H and frequently crashes (Vista Ultimate). So i returned using the first origami release. Anyone who can comment why it frequently crashes? Thanks.

This still runs slow as molasses on my U810 - 40 sec. response time between each button press (with Firefox and Windows Sidebar running in the background). Origami Now runs a bit faster. So far I like Origami Now but have no use for Origami Central. Seeing how the Origami folks require Vista and most umpc only have 1gb RAM; I would have thought they would find a way for this program to be less of a resource hog :( Too Bad.
