Palm Foleo

can u use one without a palm smartphone?

you cant use one at all... they didn't make it after all...

is that the $100 linux computer lol

Not dead yet. Let´s see what they have to show on CES 2009.

This was the first "netbook", only slower and expensive.

Glad we had Asus to shake the notebook market.

Anyway, i would still like to have a foleo right now. As a unix sysdamin, i would love such a machine. I dont need more.

PC manufacturers tried to tap into the "netbook" market about five years ago with the "origami" project, what came to be known as Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs) which ultimately failed miserably. They were too clunky, expensive, and underpowered. This can't be called a netbook as it's basically a glorified PDA, a fucking waste. The Toshiba Libretto line could be called the first netbook and that's been around for ages.

yea and i was hoping this thing would come back once they did a few other things, but i think the macbook air just set a new standard for sub notebooks which is gay cuz i hate macs, but its almost the same concept, but if they brought this back and improved it a bit it would just have to be alot cheaper than the mac air which it would be, that would be its only chance i think

This thing could have been soooo awesome. All it needed was the ability to run any OS and some standard ports. Instead Palm had to go with the kiss-of-death and market it as a "mobile-companion". STUPID! If they called it a "sub-notebook" and gave it full functionality BAM, everyone would trip over themselves to get it.

"There are times when you need a large display and there are times when you need a large keyboard."

EUREKA, you've invented the laptop!!!

Uhmmm... aww shiznit you are 24 years too late.

this product would be very helpful for me, ive used palm pilots for a few years and am about to buy the palm centro, and this device is just awesome for what it can do and the size and weight just makes it easy to carry with me at school or w/e, i hope they end up desiding to release it in the near future
