Long shot, free Microsoft Origami 2.0 on Athena, its free!

[keithwwalker]

The longshot being, you need windows vista to run Origami, I just don't think that the Athena has to juice to do it....
the flipside, is that it is free..

Why post this here? It needs vista, so how on earth is it going to run on WM6?

[keithwwalker]

I believe there have been a few brave souls who have put vista on the Athena.

I think what my good friend keithwwalker is trying to say is maybe someone could make an app the resembles origami 2.0 for if you wanted the real thing then rory is right you will need vista then origami on top and somehow i don't think a 612mhz xscale is going to stand up to all that.

lol, I think what I am saying is that HTC has to come out with an x7101, or call it what you will, and it will have the same form factor and functionality as the Athena and will have the juice to run even Origami and full screen motion video
