  • piece of shit get a macbook or a sony vaio cr

  • crossfire294, its not a laptop-its a palm device, do some research

  • The next time I see this on the market, Im buying it!

  • more info plez

  • you can't fit that in you're pocket!!?!? but so long as it has WiFi and you can do work processing, I bet it will be snapped up by reporters and such.

  • Steve Jobs wannabe.

  • all this tool did was say it's beautiful

  • I think palm was thinking more a long the lines of creating a pocket in the buttcrack and fitting that foleo in a user thats crazy enough to buy it.

    That way, when ever he needs to use one, we could say that he pull that out of his....

  • Haha! Exactly.

    It's like buying a trailer towed by a small car so you can drive 8 people around instead of just getting a mini van. It's unecessary and if there was ever a need for what it's been designed for - there are better things out there already.

  • Did he say pocket?

  • I'm sure you will need the big deep kind to buy this and fit it in there.

  • he has got a funny voice accent.

  • i siriously thought this was an SNL joke at first. this thing would have been a great product back in 1995. are these guys for real? this really is an insult to the consumers' intelligence.

  • I'd like to see you put that in your pocket.

  • This guy is so weird

  • Palm is a dying brand heh.

  • Oi Oi,

    Come abuse me and my song by clicking on my name. I simply die without others vitriol....if you don't I may just do a Poo Poo inside the drawer of your cd player.

    100% GENUINE!

  • Palm's version of the Apple Newton.

  • Beautiful, simple and elegant. But what does it do ?

  • this is great for fat people with large enough pockets

  • Wow. When did R&D start for this thing?

    And who did the market research?

    So you gave me a less useful laptop that doesn't fit in my pocket.

    Yippee.

    I'll stick with my mac.

  • dam that can shure fit in my pockets lol

  • lol of course it will fit in your pocket!!! Im buying that!! dumb fuck..

  • In your pocket??

  • These guys have lost it. Its going to cost near $500.  For that amount, you can get a regular laptop. What were they thinking....

  • I like the fact that it's very portable.

  • Lets all morn for Palm.

  • 'foleo' sounds like a malignant skin disease

  • lol it does... Polio

  • i was thinking more along the lines of...portfolio....

  • ...fit in people's pockets??

    What kind of big ass pants are people going to need to get just to carry that think in their pockets?

  • this totally makes me want to pee my pants laughing. this device is like a laptop only the guts have been removed and replaced with suck. back, back, go BACK to 1996, you silly man!!

  • I can't believe they hyped this as a revolutionary product. It's sad. Time to get rid of my Treo.

  • if your gonna carry something that exceeds pocket size and requires a bag you might as well buy a laptop

    this is stupid

  • Horrible direction for Palm. The reason people like Palm devices is because they really DO fit in your pocket. Anyone willing to sacrifice that portability won't do it by going to the Palm OS. Who the hell thought of this terrible idea?

  • its small but you'd have to have some big hands fot it to fit it your palm !

  • and how big are your pockets then?

  • Click on my username and come get your adrenaline fix ! Gravity Rules but People Can Fly !

  • If you want a small CPU, buy a PDA!!

  • uhm, that can't fit in yo pocket, nigga

  • RIP palm

  • awesome

  • Good for people who have big pockets like me

  • i can totally fit that in my pocket

  • too big...and too small at the same time ( weird )

  • I guess Tablet computers and mini laptops are making a comeback...

  • Too big...

  • .... Palm is surely dead meat now....

  • Realy cool and good size if you dont need it for media and so on.

  • Gee, everyone is copying Apple's hinge design... and oh, look! The email application's interface is displaying some serious Apple Mail.app deja vu. Apple innovates, the rest run to their copiers...

  • It looks nothing like Apple Mail. A lot of email applications look like that. Saying that Apple invents everything and everyone else copies is pure fanboy shit.

    Go be stupid somewhere else.

  • SMALL :O

  • It's a Mac Duo 230 with a touch pad!!!

  • that will definitely be cheap

  • it's beautiful xD

  • $500

  • "Runs on Linux"? :D Goodbye Palm Foleo.

  • Where can u buy this?

  • $499 after initial $100 discount. Runs on Linux, is instant-on, is compatible with both Palm and Windows Mobile devices. I'd like to think it's a good proof of concept towards the remedying the problem of the bulky, cumbersome paradigm with which Microsoft saddles its users who simply need basic business apps and internet access on the road. In that sense, it could become the anti-Vista.

  • Uhh.. it's a laptop that DOESN'T DO ANYTHING -- it needs a Treo to use and the laptop can't play movies, can't manually sync email, and the only other thing it can do is surf the web.. without Flash. YOu won't be looking at Youtube on it. It's so stupid it's mind boggling. You can't run any other apps on it!!! This is like the $100 Laptop except more expensive and shittier.

  • Its form factor is ugly and it is not intended as a laptop replacement; however, much that goes into it represents an encouraging diversion from the current norm, which is the bloated, virus-infested, insecure, over-priced, and non-user friendly Microsoft experience.

  • It's not a laptop einstein.

  • crap

  • the thing is going to cost 500 initially.

  • cool 90's design

  • Haha, yes

  • is it from 1988?

  • We actually already have laptops, this is nothing new.

  • How many weeks wages will that set me bk then?
