Hands-On With Palm's Linux-based Foleo
,----[ Quote ]
| I spent some time today with Palm's not-yet-released Foleo at the LinuxWorld
| conference here in San Francisco. Due out this summer, the $600
| not-quite-a-laptop device is small and light and might be of interest for
| some Treo-using mobile professionals, but most people would likely be much
| better served by a regular notebook.

[Anti-Linux shill:] Palm's Foleo: The Closer It Gets, the Better It Looks?
,----[ Quote ]
| It runs a Linux distro from Wind River on an embedded low-power architecture
| (processor not specified), which means instant on/off and a set of built-in
| applications that run in full-screen mode – so it's more like a Palm PDA or a
| Pocket PC than a full-blown laptop – but it's open enough that Palm is
| encouraging third-party developers to build applications for it.

This person has a very anti-Linux posting history. He also sidles with SCO and
spews out lies.

Palm Foleo with Linux threatens the Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The Palm Foleo is joining a list of MID (Mobile Internet Devices) like the
| Nokia N800 and Asus Eee that use a lightweight version of Linux but the main
| advantage of the Foleo is its instant on feature. While traditional “Linux”
| may be too difficult for the average user to handle, these highly integrated
| implementations of Linux have no problem being adopted by the masses. That
| could pose a problem for Microsoft in the long run if these devices ever get
| widespread adoption.

Palm Foleo First Thoughts
,----[ Quote ]
| If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video should be worth a
| whole volume. That's why Brian Beeler and I recorded a brief video
| overview of the Foleo, which will hopefully give you a better idea of
| what it will be like to use the first mobile companion yourself.

Live from LinuxWorld: the Palm Foleo
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently, developers can build apps for the device by signing up with the
| Palm Developer Network; one of the guys at the stand told me that a free SDK
| should be available later on. Unfortunately, the Palm folks haven’t built an
| X server for the machine yet, so porting graphical programs could be out the
| question. That said, with only 128MB RAM, you wouldn’t want to be running
| OpenOffice.org on this thing anyway...
