The Palm Foleo

The folks at TreoCentral are beside themselves. Palm just announced a new ... something ... called the Foleo, and I don't think I've ever seen such a negative reaction to a new product before it's even in the stores. This from people who are heavy Palm users -- people who had been waiting semi-breathlessly to see what Palm would come up with.

The Foleo is essentially a $500 subnotebook that is intended to work with Palm's Treo smartphones. But the questions that everyone's asking are:
  • What is this product?
  • Who will actually buy it?
  • and...what kind of silly name is that, anyway?
Vive l' Edselio!
