Palm Introduces Foleo - Everything Treo

Palm Introduces Foleo - Everything Treo

Ok here is my take on this as a Palm 700p user. I could actually see myself buying this device at the $250 to $300 dollar price point. Just today I was on the train with my treo and macbook browsing the internet at dial-up speeds, since I dont want to pay the extra $15 a month to sprint for the tethering charge. If I could just bring this with me and leave my macbook at home and be able to browse the internet at EVDO speeds without another monthly service fee I would deem it useful and worth it. $500 is way too much though, thats almost 3 years of tethering fees. The web browser is by opera and it has to be a better browser than the one they put on the nintendo wii. I want to be able to watch podcast on this thing (ex: go to revision3.com and watch diggnation right there) Secondly SLINGBOX!! If I can put a slingbox client on this thing I am sold! On a sidenote the email part of this thing does not intreast me at all since I use the gmail app for my email but if I could go to gmail on the browser I would just do that. I think that we will have to wait and see. I understand this thing looks like a underpowered overpriced laptop right now but lets give it a chance. So what are your thoughts?

My sister and her husband Mike came to the city this weekend with their brand new beautiful baby Ava. Mike and I rode the 5 Boro Bike Ride for the second time.
