I’m not sure how they managed to do it, but the folks over at Geardiary got their hands on a pre-release Foleo and posted some unboxing photos.

The lucky bastards! 🙂I guess many people still dont understand the importance of instant on productivity, when you are on the go. Hopefully the next time Foleo will be around people will be more receptive to it.

I think that some of Palm’s problem was that they didn’t expect people to see it as a laptop. If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck…Anyway, I believe that Palm recieved some really good feedback from the Palm sneak peek events and that they will be moving forward to implement some of those suggestions once Palm OS II has been deployed and they can go back and focus on the Foleo II.By the way, did you get to see the photo I was talking about in the 1SRC podcast 150?Alan G

I’m a guy who owns a business and really isn’t into computers. I don’t carry a purse to hold a Treo or other large phone/PDA and I don’t want to lug around a laptop. I want a small phone to clip to my belt. At the same time I want the “instant on” availability of phone numbers and my schedule that have been synced from my office computer. I was in love with the Foleo idea. I see the small DVD players with a 7-8″ screen. Is there anyone who makes a “Palm-Like” device with that size screen and a keyboard that’s comfortable for one-handed typing? Overall it would be the size of the small DVD player. If it had a spot to plug in a cellular card too I’d be in love. Any ideas?
