Palm scuttles Foleo companion device (A Message to Palm Customers, Partners and Developers)

Ed Colligan, Palm CEO, delivered the news in a September 24, 2007 open blog message, "I have decided to cancel the Foleo mobile companion product in its current configuration and focus all of our energies on delivering our next generation platform and the first smartphones that will bring this platform to market."

The Foleo was announced in May 2007 as a mobile companion product designed to provide a readable screen and usuable keypad, to be used in conjunction with a smartphones or handheld mobile devices.

Q. Does the concept of a very portable deviced married to a slightly less portable companion lighten your travel worries, or does it weight you down?
