Software Update

Foleo backside 

Palm's official blog has put together a list of the 3rd party applications currently in development for the Foleo. If you've been following the Foleo news lately, there aren't too many surprises here, but it is nice to see all of the developers that are coming on board.

Full list of 3rd party applications:

-Astraware Limited provides two games for the new Foleo - Sudoku and Solitaire - with additional games to follow.

-Avvenu has created the Avvenu Access 'n Share service for the Foleo so users can access, enabling users to share digital content stored on their work or home PCs, untethered and over-the-air.

-Bluefire provides Foleo customers security for mobile data-in-transit. The VPN software client easily fits in with existing network infastructures and configurations, and functions across Wi-Fi, LAN and cellular networks.

-DataViz is providing the latest addition of Documents To Go, giving Foleo customers the ability to create, view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint compatible files on their Foleo mobile companion.

-LogMeIn is bringing remote PC access capability to the Foleo, providing instant, secure connections between remote PCs over the web - enabling easy desktop remote control, data backup and file sharing.

-MotionApps' mDayscape Personal Information Manager applications lets Foleo customers manage calendar, contacts and tasks on their devices and synchronizes with a Treo smartphone.

-Opera provides Foleo customers with the user-friendly Opera web browser, offering intelligent navigation features and support for advanced Web 2.0 applications using Ajax.

-SixApart gives Foleo users access to SixApart's wide range of blogging services including Vox, LiveJournal, Typepad and MoveableType.

-TealPoint offers Foleo customers a full suite of new security, entertainment and productivity applications including TealSafe, TealPaint, TealDiet, SudokuAddict and ShortCircuit, with more applications to follow.

I think the software available now covers about 90% of what I use a laptop for, maybe more. I'm holding onto the hope that Blue Nomad will bring a port of Wordsmith to the Foleo, but I'm sure there will be other Linux word processors that come along soon. In the meantime, Docs2Go works fine.
