As rumored, the big new device that's Palm's Jeff Hawkins has chosen to announce at the D conference today is the Palm Foleo, which the company is billing as a 'mobile companion'. Boasting a 10-inch widescreen display and a full-size keyboard, the device is intended to be used in conjunction with your smartphone, with any edits to documents made on one device automatically reflected on the other thanks to the device's Bluetooth connectivity. The device also promises to turn on 'instantly', boasts built-in WiFi, and should last about 5 hours on a single charge. It runs Linux. More here.

Though it wasn't what I was expecting, if the Foleo was cheaper, say $200 - $300 I likely would have decided to purchase one. As a writer I don't need much more than a glorified lightweight typewriter with a web broswer and the Foleo looks small enough to fill that requirement. I think palm would have been better off developing the foleo as a sort of OLPC for consumers.
