Palm Cancels Foleo Smartphone Companion

Sep 4, 2007, 4:45 PM by (staff)

Palm CEO Ed Colligan today announced the company is canceling its Foleo smartphone companion "in its current configuration." Palm has decided to concentrate its efforts on its next generation software platform, the Linux-based system the company has been discussing and developing for some time. Palm wants to present a unified user experience regardless of form factor. When the new platform is finally launched, Palm may decide to resurrect the Foleo running the new OS.

Wow. . .

That's. . . quite shocking.

So. . . back to innovating on phones/PDAs then?

Yeah... Never saw that one coming 🙄

I still don't understand why everyone I see at the airport carries one of their devices. Is the competition that bad?

I think if they didn't cancel this the stock holders would have Ed's head mounted on the wall, and they may still do that if they do innovate and actually improve their products.

Palm...

...certainly needs to streamline their offerings, institute the new OS, and come up with some slimmer, easier to use, more modern hardware.
