NerdFind – Palm Foleo Mobile Companion

Share      

Even though I am a loyal Apple fan, I am very interested in Palm’s newest addition: The Foleo Mobile Companion. It is a 10-inch wide, Linux-based device that connects wirelessly to your Treo Smartphone and functions similar to that of a large screen and keyboard. While this could mean that the Mobile Companion is none other than an old-fashioned laptop, bear in mind, laptops are much bigger and heavier and don’t connect automatically to your phone. The Foleo contains Bluetooth technology and can be used for working on email or Microsoft documents when the Treo thumb pad proves cumbersome.

This product will be available in the summer at the retail price of $499, after a $100 mail-in rebate.
