Quick Post: Palm Foleo Axed

Palm

I am traveling this week and hence my posts will be short and sweet.

Palm finally announced that they will no longer be shipping the foolio Foleo. The hideous looking device, which was supposed to be a PDA companion was announced at the D5 conference earlier this year.

This announcement never quite made sense to me as the Foleo looked very close to a thin laptop but with reduced functionality. So if one wants to carry a device of such form factor, they might as well carry their laptops. I can speak from experience as I am some what of a road warrior.

The interesting part in all of this is that this device never shipped. Quite rarely it happens that a device is announced publicly but gets canceled before shipping. Anyways I am glad Palm decided to focus solely on the smartphone platform. Although the CEO Ed Colligan does mention something about Foleo II, which they will continue to explore.

Here is a video of Jeff Hawkins announcing the Foleo at D5.

GigaOm has a detailed analysis, check it out.
