This might the straw that moves me back to the BB. I was expecting something more or at least an update to the 750 allowing for HSDPA access.
They refuse to update POS and while my 750 has been rock steady, the inherent lack of updates and lack of innovation is somewhat troubling.

I am getting either the Cavalier or the Curve…as Palm has clearly lost it…now if Cingular would drop that BB data price by $10…

As much as I like my 750 Treo, this might be the straw that moves me back to BB.
Will probably give the 750 to the wife and get a curve for me. just wish the 9 series was out as UMTS/HSDPA is hard to give once you start using it…

The Palm “Fool-eo” is more like it.

Looking at the device just launched today there is no mystery why Palm has continued to slip. Nothing revolutionary, nothing new. And at the proposed price tag of $499, I suggest one greatly consider a cheap laptop alternative. It baffles me why one would carry a foleo and a smartphone rather than a laptop and smartphone. Consider just how thin most laptops have become. A foleo requires space as a does a laptop and is nothing more than a hyped up dumb terminal as those familiar with Unix or remote computing understand well. How this concept is unique other than providing remote access to a smartphone is beyond me. Someone help. I am still trying to understand why I would carry a foleo rather than a laptop at the same price with endless additional functionality when neither can be more easily stored over the other.

Zander,

Palm actually unveiled the Foleo about 90 minutes ago and recieved a rather lackluster reception for D: attendees…

The fact that it as after 4:00 p.m. in the East and there still has been no official announcement makes me wonder if the inadvertent posting of the the press release was really a mistake or if Palm was just putting some misinformation out there so that folks are really surprised when they truly announce something.

I can’t believe this is the big announcement? The Foleo? Palm has realy lost it. Board the place up, Palm IS dead. Nothinglike going out with a stupid looking mini laptop…..

Screw Palm!
