Microsoft Origami: AlphaSmart Killer?

This thing, the Microsoft Origami project, by inital glances in the advertising video that was leaked, seems to, with all the features that it shows, be the ultimate AlphaSmart killer. I use an AlphaSmart for writing stuff at school and all, and looking at Oragami, it just makes what I have look obsolete. Having something with, a color screen, abeit slightly smaller than the dana's might be a disadvantage, but having a color screen, with a touchscreen, running Windows or Linux would beat PalmOS anyday. The features that this seems to initally have, mp3, remote control, docking capability (??), and a external keyboard, make this thing seem more mobile and much more flexable. It's like the QQQ computer that was released last year, but it seems better, with a large screen, more modular, and also more fit for the role of a mobile computer that would be used in day to day. It doesn't seem like a tablet, because of the screen's smaller size, but its like an inbetween, a UltraSmall computer. I've been pondering, ever since the website of this viral marketing campaign, several things. One of which is battery life: will it be able to beat the Dana's approxiamate 6+ hour(a guess, from how I've used it) battery life, and be able to easily type essays and other documents. The thing was shown in some sort of dock, I wonder if this dock has a video output, so it could be used as a pseodu-computer like laptop if it was docked to a bigger screen with a keyboard. I could probibly go rambiling on and on for hours, but these things just seem to go into my head when I read all the details about this, and continue to think, if Microsoft is beginning a new trend in the gadget industry: UltraSmall computers...
