The Palm Foleo will have real 3rd party applications developed for it.


Software for the Palm Foleo has been announced by Astraware and now MotionApps. Astraware has released a version of their Sudoko and Solitaire games for the Foleo. Both games are loads of fun and I highly recommend them. MotionApps has announced a PIM software suite that will be developed for the Foleo. Palm has not announced any PIM software on the Foleo, so one can assume that there is none. I'm hoping that Palm is taking note of Apple's upgrading the iPhone here in the last few days and that Palm will do the same with the Foleo. I mean imagine Palm saying they've upgrade the memory for a tiny 128mb to a 4 GB flash memory. That would be great! 
Side thought
Why should you consider a Foleo? Well, as a pastor, missionary, evangelist many do not want nor need a full featured laptop. For example, a missionary may just want a internet and email capabilities to keep in contact with their supporting churches. A Foleo can do that without all the extra bulk. With its instant on, sending an email to your supporting churches can be done quickly enabling your to be more productive and spend less time at the computer. Palm products have the "just works" feature. You use it and it "just works". As of late some may argue that is not true, but overall Palm products just work. So, this could be a useful device if your needs are simple. You want more than that, well you need a MacBook.
