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.

Here is Palm’s much anticipated secret device, the Foleo, which will run Linux. Some features to take note of: one-button access to full-screen email, instant on/off, 10-inch display and full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, WiFi. Also has USB port, video-out port, headphone jack, and slots for SD and compact flash cards for memory expansion, and it’s pretty light at 2.5 pounds and has a decent 5-hour battery life.
Well at least that answers the question about audio.

The large screen supports 1024-by-600 or 1024-by-768 VGA resolution.

I don't think Palm is trying to make it more than just web/email and maybe office. IMO, as a device, the N800 can do more.
And yes, Palm not showing the tech specs is really pissing me off too. They should tell us internal memory and storage memory, screen resolution, cpu speed etc.
