Stillborn: Palm's FoleoI actually wanted oneI am disappointed that they didn't get the feedback they wanted for the project to continue. I would have more than likely purchased one. I wanted to set it up similar to the Nokia's NSeries of devices. Though I know this wouldn't...

Stillborn: Palm's Foleo

Early this summer, I asked if simplicity put Palm’s Pilot on the map, will Palm’s Foleo ‘PC’ be an encore performance? And concluded based on what I showed in the video on that blog entry: As it stands so far, the Foleo is probably not poised to repeat the...

Palm Foleo delayed: Anyone notice?

Palm Foleo delayed: Anyone notice?Maybe I'm alone......but it just seems to me that the Treo's too much phone to use as a companion to the Foleo (or, inversely, to require a companion such as the Foleo).IMHO, if you're going to have a combination like this, it seems like the right...

Palm Foleo delayed: Anyone notice?

Deutsche Bank reports that Palm is delaying the Foleo companion device, which was supposed to hit stores this week. The big question: Does anyone outside of the three of you that are going to buy one care?One issue: The Foleo had trouble working with Palm's Treo. Go figure. Sounds like...

15 minutes of hands-on time with the Palm Foleo, still not quite sold on it yet

Correction (with additional information) to my post on Palm's Foleo

Earlier this week, I posted a video of Palm's forthcoming Foleo. pictured right. The Foleo is neither fish notebook PC nor foul (PDA/smarthphone).  Rather, it's a bit of 'tweener.  As you can see from the original post, it may look like a notebook PC.  But in reality, it's more like...

Simplicity put Palm's Pilot on the map. Is Palm's Foleo 'PC' an encore performance?

Much the same way Steve Jobs was Apple's Prodigal Son, returning to the company and reinvigorating it with the sorts of innovations that put it on the map in the first place, Palm founder Jeff Hawkins has apparently returned to his roots in hopes of sparking a revival at...

Palm Foley with Linux threatens the Laptop

At the Digital Experience in New York this week, Palm demonstrated the simplicity of their Foley 2 pound sub-notebook device that can potentially replace a full blown laptop for mobile workers.  I was initially very skeptical of such a device until I saw it turn on and off instantly with...

Will Palm's Foleo sell?

Webware's Rafe Needleman has a picture of Palm's latest gadget--the Foleo, an "Internet interface appliance" at the D5 conference.My first thought: Palm just cooked up a baby Linux laptop that connects to a Treo. Or maybe it's Palm's entry into the UMPC race. Rafe says: The device, at about $500,...
