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.

Agreed... a commercial spinoff from the OLPC project would be awesome.
My current Linux laptop is a nice piece of kit, but since it's less powerful than my desktop it ends up mostly being an ssh terminal. Would be nice if I could lose some of the excess weight / features, gain some battery life and have an efficient mobile terminal. OLPC looks like it'd be possibly better for my purposes than a "proper" laptop - I'd be interested in paying money for something similar.
