The Palm Foleo mobile companion is for people who understand that sometimes less is more. With the press of one button, the mobile companion’s large screen displays wireless email from a paired smartphone. A smartphone is great for finding quick bits of information or sending a brief response to an email, but there are times when a full-size keyboard and a big screen is preferred to view attachments, type longer emails, or to get a bigger-screen look at web pages and photos. Plus, Internet access is available anywhere there is cell phone coverage, or when the Foleo is within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot. With Foleo’s instant on/off capability, light weight and small size, and 5-hour battery life, Palm expects the mobile companion to establish a new category of personal-computing products.

By building the Foleo on an open Linux-based platform and publishing the tools developers might need, Palm hopes to establish a vibrant developer community to create new applications that extend the mobile companion’s built-in capabilities. Six Apart and TealPoint demonstrate the ease with which exciting technology and applications can be ported to the Palm Foleo mobile companion.
