Pro Foleo

Nothing new here, but James Miller at Palm Boulevard wonders what, exactly, Palm means when they insist that "U.S. availability for the Palm Foleo mobile companion will begin this summer."

Technically, that would give Palm until 9:51 p.m. on September 23rd, when the Autumn Equinox kicks in to mark the beginning of fall. Then again, most of us assumed Palm meant sometime between late June and Labor Day, which falls on September 3rd. That's the time when pools close and kids are on their way back to school.

Interestingly, Deutsche Bank's Goldberg said Palm was supposed to have released Foleo last week, well within the range of common expectations.

You'll note that, at the end of the article, James says that the Foleo will cost $399 after the mail-in rebate. That is undoubtedly a mistake, unless James has some inside scoop on a price drop.

Anyhow, I'm tapping my foot impatiently here, waiting for the availability update from Palm. It's getting a little old just looking at pictures…
