J'ose imaginer la batterie nécessaire pour alimenter ce truc pendant au moins 4 heures en mode jeu !

Il y a cette image



Tirée d'ici.

Mais si ils ne changent pas les boutons, ça va être très dur de jouer réellement avec ^^

De surcroît (encore une fois dans l'hypothèse que cela devienne une console portable) vous ne trouvez pas qu'elle est un peu ENORME?

Quand la Gizmondo a été annoncée, il y a également eu des rumeurs autour d'une récupération par Microsoft du projet, et aussi des photos montrant Halo sur la console.

C'est un projet qui avait été présenté il y a un an fastoche.

De même, Microsoft n'a jamais prétendu qu'il s'agissait-là d'une console portable, même au sens où on l'entend aujourd'hui, c'est-à-dire une plate-forme plus ou moins multimédia. Ca n'est rien d'autre qu'un PDA techniquement plus abouti.



Si quelqu'un voit une console portable là-dedans... []

Repris de Gamasutra : "mages have emerged online depicting a concept for the 'Origami Project' Windows-compatible handheld system from Microsoft, which has variously been reported as challenging either Apple’s iPod, or the portable games market currently dominated by Nintendo and Sony.

A since-removed promotional video on the website of film production company DigitalKitchen shows a portable computer whose functionality is likely to straddle both markets.

Although it is unclear whether Microsoft approved of the video being shown on DigitalKitchen’s website, the company has confirmed to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that it is working on the device with so far unidentified partners. But it indicated that the concept shown in the video is a year old, and reflects only an “initial exploration”.

Rather than an explicit game-only device, the Origami Project concept seems similar to existing tablet PCs, with a large touch screen display noticeably bigger than either the iPod or PSP. Actors can be seen in the promotional video using the device to listen to music, access the Internet, edit digital photos, controlling media on a home PC and playing video games.

The device is clearly shown running a version of Halo, implying that video games will play a significant role in the marketing campaign and features list. Previous to the appearance of the DigitalKitchen video, Bill Gates had discussed a mobile PC concept at a conference in Seattle last year, where a non-working device called the Ultra Mobile 2007 was shown.

At the time, Gates indicated that the device should have an “all-day” battery life, weigh less than a pound and cost between $500 and $800. Microsoft has indicated it will unveil more details of the Origami Project “in the coming weeks”."
