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.

It seems more a device for the executive who doesn't need anything else but has money to burn and co-workers to annoy.
It's nice enough but it doesn't do anything new, except the purported seamless synchronisation. A Treo in a different form factor would have been more useful. I believe that anyone with thumbs too big to type on the Treo keyboard would agree.
Palm has good ideas but they really need a visionary, not another device.
