Palm tables Linux-based Foleo

| Colligan added, "When we do Foleo II it will be based on our new platform, 
| and we think it will deliver on the promise of this new category." He 
| declined to specify a timeframe, however, saying only, "We need to get our 
| core platform and smartphones done first."

Palm Looking For Linux Developers

,----[ Quote ]
| The success of the 2.5-pound device — which turns on and off instantly, touts 
| an easy-to-use interface and promises five hours of battery life — could 
| depend on how programmers react to it this week at the LinuxWorld conference 
| in San Francisco.

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

| If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video should be worth a

| 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.
