Palm Foleo Does More by Doing Less

I love this new device. It does less than a laptop -- but it also costs less, weighs less, takes less power, and crashes less.

It changes how I think about computers. I could just "keep one around the house" which you would never do with a real laptop.

Or just keep one in my bag all the time and never take my laptop out of the office.

Or...who knows what else. With all my data on the network or otherwise in my email box, I rarely need an obscure file from my hard drive. With Soonr or Foldershare or some similar app, I can get it via the web.

The Web and Email are 90% of what I do with a laptop. Hmm!

This device also shows the some divisive nature of "simple" devices -- the geeks at Gizmadget think "hey, I want either a better phone or a better laptop! Not this other thing!!"
