I'm not sure if this is in any other subforum, but have you seen the new Origami?

Yep I have, looks nice but I think its a bit expensive right now, $ 500 or something I think.

 

[Nathan]

There hasn't been a price point released that I know of. So to say it's $500 could be $400 off or $100 off.

Yeah thats pretty sweet, I was checking it out the other day. There was a commercial on it floating around online, if I can find it ill post it.

 

[Nathan]

That'd be awesome if you could. I haven't seen anything on the television for it. I'll try looking on Googol (Inside Geek Joke) video.

Doesn't have a price. I'll keep looking, but like I said, I'm almost completely positive there is no official price.

 

[bigguy]

I think this is the price that it quotes for the origami.

Let me look around on Digg to see if there's any news on it.
