Rumor: Palm Foleo to be released August 22

It looks like Palm's mobile companion, the Foleo, could be released in late August. While many have not shared Palm's excitement of the device, Palm is looking for the device to be a hit with those who do not want to carry a heavy laptop around. A Foleo works with your Treo device, possible other smartphones down the road, and allows you to edit docs, spreadsheets etc. on the larger screen of the Foleo and using the Foleo's keyboard. It really sounds like a good idea as I've my self would hate to edit a document on my Lifedrive because the screen was so small. So, I do believe this device could be very useful for some, while others may prefer to carry a full-featured laptop.

Dell offering new laptops today.

Looks like Dell is adding some new laptops with new colors to their lineup. The name of those colors are a bit odd, too. 

"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Dell Inc. (DELL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) introduced new notebook computers on Tuesday available in eight different colors with advanced features as it tries to grab a bigger slice of the consumer PC market.

The world's second-largest personal computer maker also launched its first consumer PC to use flash memory instead of a traditional hard-disk drive to store data. The lightweight laptop comes with a modest 32 gigabytes of data storage space.

Dell's new notebooks, to be unveiled at an event at Macy's flagship store in Herald Square in New York, come in colors with names such as flamingo pink, sunshine yellow, alpine white, ruby red, jet black, midnight blue and espresso."
