Palm Foleo: Not such a dumb concept after all?
2008-02-21 13:58:00 If the sudden rush into subnotebooks by major PC vendors is any indication, it's worth considering whether Palm's Foleo wasn't such a lame idea. Photos of a subnotebook from Hewlett-Packard, reportedly called the HP Compaq 2133, showed up on the Web recently. And another major PC vendor, Acer, is also rumored to be entering the subnotebook fray sometime soon. Neither company will confirm

Redfly Mobile Companion is the Palm Foleo For Wind
2008-01-19 17:24:00 Remember the Palm Foleo? This REDFLY Mobile Companion is just like that, except it's for Windows Mobile phones. The MC looks like a small 8-inch screen laptop (styled in Famicom colors), has a keyboard and touchpad, but weighs 1.9 pounds and and measures 9x6x1-inches. The point of this? To hook up to your Windows Mobile phone via USB or Bluetooth in order to "extend the smartphone platform to a larger display, keyboard, and mouse", essentially what the Foleo was trying to do. The good news is that this has an eight hour battery life and can power your cellphone on the go, plus has USB ports so you can store your data via USB flash drives and not have to burden your phone with it. The price: $499 directly from Celio in March. I don't know?the Palm Foleo wasn't all that bad, even if its use was limited to a very small segment of the market that relied on their smartphones instead of a full-sized laptop to send/receive email and work on documents on the go. The same segment ...

The Palm Foleo is back: Celio Redfly SIS
2008-01-03 19:24:00 The Palm Foleo was a small laptop that was severely panned, belittled and put down when it was first announced. It’s image was so bad that Palm killed it before it could be released, hiding it away like abused child it was. As happens sometimes, another company is taking a shot at it, if you ...

Foleo gets canned
2007-09-07 00:36:00 Palm CEO Ed Colligan has announced the last-minute cancellation of the Foleo, what was to be Palm’s new smartphone companion. Ed cites the difficulties of simultaneously developing two platforms as the biggest reason for calling the project off, but he’s adamant that a Foleo II will come into the picture after their new handheld OS is all polished off and settled. Hardly anyone was looking forward to the $499 pseudo-laptop, and others thought that ditching the project was key to Palm’s survival, but the fact that they’re still clinging to the idea of a smartphone companion is a little disturbing.[ via blackberrycool ]

Palm Foleo - Folded Up And Gone
2007-09-05 05:00:00 Seldom in the history has a device gone from being center stage at a premium technology conference to the garbage bin as Palm’s (PALM) ill-conceived Foleo. It was launched with much fanfare at the AllThingsD conference back in June 2007. Within minutes of Jeff Hawkins showing off the device - a portable disk-less computer that acted as an adjunct to the Treo, the entire audience tuned out and started tapping out emails on their Blackberrys. It was in jest that I wrote then: Foleo, more like fold-up-and-go! Today, Palm CEO Ed Colligan made it official. There are many reasons the device was dead-on-arrival. The biggest reason is that it is a disk-less device that needs constant connectivity to be useful. In other words, it is a device for a world where network connectivity is ubiquitous - either via 3G connections, WiMAX or WiFi. We are not there yet, and won’t be there for a few more years. The New York Times’ John Markoff is one of the few gadget lovers who seem to...

Switched On: The Foleo imbroglio (Part 1)
2007-08-14 00:24:00 Filed under: Features digg_url = 'http://digg.com/offbeat_news/S-witched_On_The_Foleo_imbroglio_-Part_1'; Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about technology, multimedia, and digital entertainment:If anything, Palm's Foleo seems like it was designed to elicit instant geek cred. It's small, thin and light, and its solid state storage helps provide long battery life. It has instant-on capabilities and supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It even runs Linux and all for only $500. However, quite to the contrary, much of the reaction to Palm's latest mobile foray has run the gamut from confusion to scorn, with some calling the product "Folly-o" or "Fooleo." The core problem that the Foleo seeks to address is easy to understand, but its positioning is a moving target. Here's how early adopters are becoming lost in Foleo's rationale: Palm: Smartphones continue to gain more processing power and more memory.Users: OK, that's fair enough.Palm: However, they are still defic...

2007-07-19 23:39:00 In Palm's words "the perfect companion for your smartphone", the Foleo is a small laptop-sized device with a 10-inch screen and full-sized keyboard that connects wirelessly with your smartphone.Once you unfold the new device, your email is brought up on screen at the press of a button and you can use the Foleo to view Word, Excel, PDF and PowerPoint attachments, type longer emails, and get a big-screen look at webpages and photos.The Wi-Fi-enabled Foleo boasts 5 hours of battery life and automatically syncs with your smartphone in real time via Bluetooth wireless technology.It will be interesting to see how this product is received. Not quite a notebook, or a UMPC, will smartphone users want another product to lug around? Afterall, isn’t the point of smartphones supposed to be that they can do all the things that laptops can, but in a smaller package?We would have thought that Palm will be keen to get the new device out before Apple's iPhone hits stores in the States in June, bu...

Boasting a 10-inch widescreen display and a full-size keyboard, the device is intended to be used in conjunction with your smartphone, with any edits to documents made on one device automatically reflected on the other thanks to the device's Bluetooth connectivity. The device also promises to turn on 'instantly,' boasts built-in WiFi, and should last about 5 hours on a single charge. The pricing and release info leaked out earlier also look to have been spot on, with it now officially set to be released sometime this summer for $500 (after a $100 mail-in rebate). We'll have plenty more pics of it shortly, but for now you can check out one more after the break.(Via Engadget.)
