Story: Palm's Foleo gets cool reception
Stupid idea...
If you really want a cheap email solution so badly, go to eBay and buy an old Dell C400 laptop at 3lbs. w/WinXP for $250 with WiFi. As long as you don't add a bunch of software to it it will boot up extremely fast to help you with email. Add a mobile wireless card and you are set! Why in the hell did Palm waste so much time and money on something that sounds like some executive's brain fart?
With this product, and their other recent product (whose name I can't remember), looks like Palm is a small company that works like a megacorp when it comes to ideas and what makes it to market. This product was designed by executives who are thinking way too hard and are out of touch with the market and what's available to the average person already to solve these problems. There is such a thing as "convenience in excess of what is needed or practical" and Palm keeps hurting itself it seems.
Linux Smartphone = smart
Linux email-only client @ $500 is stupid
As Trump would say, someone needs to be fired...
