My fault this, I wasn’t at Cebit (though will be next year fingers crossed), I published the above post that Paz sent to me and if he says he was there then that’s good enough for me.

Thanks for pointing it out Ruck, will now slap Paz around the head till he can spell propar

haha well thanks for the comment! Yes, Hanover is the UK spelling. I lived in Hamelin (of the Pied Piper fame), very close to Hanover for 6 years, but the Germans spelt that wrong too (Hameln). Also I lived near Munich for 4 years; and they spelt that differently: München.

I had a fantastic time in Germany, but I still use the UK spellings.

So yeah.. you got me that time!!

Cheers,
Paz.

So you saw this gadget in Hanover? Well, Hannover is spelled with two n's. But do not worry. Fine magazines like "pcworld" (cough) make the same mistake. This is how readers can distinguish between original work, by people who actually went to the Cebit in Hannover, and the derivative blurbs by the rest. Gotcha!

The whole Origami project looks interesting. I’ll guess we’ll have to wait and see. The marketing campaign is being played to a tee though. The teaser vids at Project Origami are good.

I also saw on the wires, that Intel are due to make an announcement on the 7th about an Ultra-Mobile PC-type gadget. I assume it’s something along the lines of this Origami project.

Hmm, it looks cool, but it’s one of those things I’d like to play around with in the store, not actually buy.

I’m going to hold out for the real iPod Video.

P.S. it’s YouTube, not YourTube.
