Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action Now that the Palm Foleo is official, you’re probably wondering how it looks in motion. Here’s a tiny video with Jeff Hawkins demoing the unit. – Jason Chen
It would be redundant to step through the Foleo right after Hawkins gave us a feature tour, but I have held the hardware, and it is impressively light (physically and software wise). It looks like a fanless, or near fanless design, the screen is very nice, and the keyboard reminds me of a Toshiba Tecra (a favorable thing). It looks to be a very efficient machine. If you overlook all the crazy buttons for navigation. And I thought the Thinkpad num/trackpad with multiple buttons was bad. That’s not simplicity in design. There is a dedicated email button, which is a nice touch, as well as an Apps button that goes to the Dataviz office docs, the photo viewer, web browser, etc. The menu is top left, like a mac/windows hybrid and is favorably clean. But that’s what happens when your device has no apps. What does it take to compile software to run on the Foleo.
Would I buy one? No, I’m not a smart phone junkie. galleryPost('foleohandson', 8, 'Foleo Grope'); – Brian Lam
All the details on Palm’s new device, the Foleo, are out. They’re calling it a “Smartphone companion product,” it’s got a 10-inch screen, full-size keyboard and built-in Wi-Fi. Edits on the Foleo automatically appear on a paired Smartphone, and data synchronizes with a dedicated button. Foleo runs on an open Linux-based platform, with an Opera browser—application developers are hereby granted permission to board! $499 with $100 introductory rebate, goes on sale this summer. Detailed specs and more after the jump…

Jeff Hawkins just dropped Foleo photos on us. It looks like it’s subnotebook-sized, but it’s a smartphone companion, designed to make it a full computing experience.
10:33 He’s talking about the need for a better interface. And took a jab at origami. 10:36 Battery life is great. Five hours of real access running Wi-Fi, etc. 10:38 WM Looks like a laptop, I know how you’re positioning it, but that doesn’t matter. JH is totally being a cock tease, and Mossy is telling JH to get on with the show. He keeps calling it a laptop. That doesn’t run stuff. 10:40 JH It’s Velvety. Runs Linux, 10-inch screen, boots almost instantly. No sleep, just on and off. 10:43 WM Like the Clapper. JH Syncs with the phone, not just for exchange stuff. Makes the data centric to the phone. Easy to use, not for corporate types only.
