The obsession with Palm continues with the expansion of my collection of vintage computing hardware.

The Foleo (or better known at the time of its announcement – the Fooleo) never made it to the market being announced and killed in less then three months in 2007.  Running Linux this puppy was a netop computer before the category was ever dreamed up.  Featuring a stupidly quick boot and outfitted with WiFi and Bluetooth, this was designed to be a comanion to your smartphone to sahre its internet connection and email client (Sound fimaliar?!)

The device was slated to launch in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2007 for a price expected by Palm to be $499 after an introductory $100 rebate. Palm canceled Foleo development on September 4, 2007, with Palm CEO Ed Colligan announcing that the company would return its focus to its core product of smartphones and handheld computers.
