C’est drôle comme le design du Palm Foleo m’a immédiatement rappelé les Psion sur lesquels je fantasmais il y a quinze ans. Vous vous souvenez ? Ils m’intéressaient beaucoup plus que les Palm, et j’étais triste qu’ils finissent par capituler.

E-Scribe News:

Interesting turnabout from the days of the original Pilot, which was pitched as a “Connected Organizer” that was dependent on your “real” computer. Now here’s a computer that’s designed to be dependent on your phone.

Webware:

I said was a terrible idea. Overprice, underfeatured, and too close to the well-established laptop market.

That was before I got my hands on one. It took me only a few minutes to develop a desire to get one of these for myself. This is partly because I tried the product while my back was straining from the messenger bag carrying my Thinkpad. The Foleo is tiny and light, yet big enough to hold a full keyboard and a nice screen.

It was also because I was in a rush, and the Foleo powered on instantly when I opened its lid (just like a Palm Pilot is instant-on).
