If the smart phone is a truly capable computer and billions of people have them, some of them are going to need a larger display. Smart-phone screens are just too small. People need a mobile companion a device that extends their smart phones.
Foleo will support Palm and Windows Mobile. Hawkins wants to support iPhone but "hasn't inked the deals necessary to do that yet."More details on Foleo available on Palm's site.

And Apple's stock reaches toward $118 on the news...
Nothing impressive, as far as I can tell.
So Palm decides to keep relying on its now ancient Treo form factor.... by supplementing it with a laptop?

Too Big and Too Small!
Too big to lug around, might as well move on up to a 12" laptop

No it's not, it's an extension of a smartphone/PDA. Big difference.
I can't run Ableton Live on that.

Wow. How pathetic. It's a small laptop, except it does less than a laptop.
It really seems like Apple is the only company left that knows what the hell they're doing.
EDIT: What the hell?
"Future iteration of the device will allow e-mail over Wi-Fi."
Oh, brilliant.
