Why Palm Sucks!

Palm had done its best to whip up a frenzy leading up to today’s announcement from founder Jeff Hawkins about some new mystery product. Well, it’s here, and despite Hawkins’ proclamation that it’s “the most exciting product” he’s ever worked on, the Foleo “smartphone companion” isn’t exactly overwhelming. Basically, it’s a $500 screen and keyboard for Treo smartphones, which the company is pitching as an email device. The Foleo syncs to a user’s Treo inbox over Bluetooth, and lets users view and compose emails, and it features an Opera web browser and a photo-viewing application.
