Palm Founder Hawkins Demos Foleo “Mobile Companion”
Foleo will be available in a few months for US$599—$499 after a $100 rebate. It's be available online and in Palm stores initially; it doesn't need to be sold through phone carriers.
Mossberg pointed out that there are small laptops and $500 laptops already. "The small laptops tend to be the most expensive ones," Hawkins said. "We're trying to do this mobile companion thing you can't get on any laptop: one-button access to e-mail—instant."
Hawkins said that the Foleo, like the original PalmPilot, is both useful and fun. As for the BlackBerry? He says it will be supported in some form, though not out of the box. "And we'd love to support the iPhone—they're going to need it." In fact, they'd like to support every smartphone out there.
