Foleo Hands-on

A great looking device. Wish it had have had the Garnet OS installed which would then sync to your phone. Would have made it a "must have" in my collection.

Why get this when you can get an ASUS Eee 701 for $199?

[dodykid4ever]

because this is a plam device hlg

@hlg687 Because the Eee didn't (and still doesn't) sync with your smartphone like the Foleo does. This was supposed to be an alternative way of computing. Instead of having two different computers with you, you'd just have your smartphone that powered everything.

Great idea, just not what people wanted I guess.

For most comments on the web, i tought it sucked.... Now, i even like it!

Looks perfect for most of the things i do in my office. Word, Excel, Web, Email, and a Terminal.

This thing looks perfect for a Linux/Windows Sysadmin

@ ForceUser (taken from official website + googling forums) CPU: Information not released. Sources suggest AMD Geode LX x86. Speed Unknown. Memory: 256MB Flash Memory, ~128 User accessible x1 SD Slot x1 CF Slot VGA out USB 2.0 with USB Host Support 10" Display Bluetooth 2.0 Wifi 802.11b Palm customised Linux OS. I hope i would be able to hack Open Office to run on this thing. this would seal the deal.

Why wouldn't you just be happy with Docs to Go. I was so satisfied using that program on my Palm TX. I had a fully featured MS Office-like program that could fit in my pocket (without all the problems of Windows Mobile).

[macewan]

can you provide more information about its Linux core?

[ForceUser]

Do you know the specs?
