Pro Foleo

Mike Cane writes about a Palm job posting for a Foleo Application Engineer:

So, Palm is still working on it. And does the pop3 and imap requirements mean this email app for the Foleo will work via WiFi rather than requiring syncing email via a Treo or other phone?

Looking at the Palm jobs site, I could not find the listing that Mike is referring to. (Perhaps he saw it at Yahoo or something?) However, Palm does have one listing posted on Sept. 11 for a Foleo Sync Software Engineer:

The position is for a software engineer who would be responsible for developing and maintaining software that runs on Palms Treo and Foleo products, and be responsible for synchronization between the two products.

Duties/Responsibilities:

• Develop a strong understanding of how the Foleo and Treo products interact with each other towards the goal of supporting the existing software and expanding it to support new functionality in future versions of the product.
• Troubleshoot problems reported by testers, internal beta users and external reports by examining logs. Design improvements on existing architecture with a focus on making gains in performance and reliability.
• Work with other developers and testers to ensure that our test strategy is comprehensive and the design/code allow for effective testing of the code with test applications/tools.

It's possible the two listings refer to the same job. At any rate, it does seem that Palm is at least considering more work on the Foleo project.

Or maybe Palm's HR department didn't get Colligan's memo…
