Open Letter to Palm

shouting at palm

The folks at Engadget have a lengthy article on what they perceive to be Palm's problems these days. Hardware, software, business… they pull no punches here. The article does have a few common-sense suggestions for a next-gen Treo. The writers want a sexier, thinner device, with a larger display, WiFi, more storage and a better OS. But don't mess with the keyboard! Nothing really new here, but a decent summary of what many Palm users have long clammored for.

As for the Foleo, Engadget basically tells Palm that it's not going to be a succesful product, and even it if is mildly successfull, it's not worth the time and effort for such a niche market. For the sake of those in that "niche" market, let's hope that Palm ignores this particular piece of advice.

I doubt Colorware will ever choose to offer different colored Foleos, but it's fun to dream…
