Foleo, Palm's "Secret Project"?


I'm very disappointed at Palm particulary when rumors and extravagant marketing shout-out began surfacing all over the media world. It seems his "secret project" codenamed Foleo, which according to Palm,a smart phone companion product. A laptop look-alike whom its main business according to them is to provide on real productivity-minded business people who want a more complete mobile solution for email, attachments and access to the web. Yeah, right.

They still don't get the grasp or niche of mobile computing wherein all of their competitors are currently doing their homework not the way Jeff Hawkins is doing. It seems the poor guy are living in an outdated or maybe on a slow-paced world of technology innovation.

Looks like Palm are leading its way in the wrong path. What Foleo can do that other laptop couldn't? Nothing. Palm's just to way late for introducing devices that could make the customers shout with glee and reach the highest peak on the stock trade.

It`s not just about a device.
Is a notebook that is trully mobile.

When you turn on the notebook, the OS just boot instantly. This is having an expensive and big RAM memory, but not a common RAM memory, but an expensive one, that requires no energy to save data and still is almost as fast as normal RAM.

This is really an expensive thing no notebook has, but all palm have. That is what makes me listen to music from my palm and not waiting for my OS to book from my notebook. I sometimes suspend my notebook, but after many hour battery is almost gone.

That is a revolution in terms of mobile computing. This is really a wanted item of every notebook owner.
