    CNET Article on Palm's 'Comeback'Posted By: Kris Keilhack on Friday, June 08, 2007 10:09:11 AM
CNET's news.com division has posted an interesting new article regarding the possibility (or lack thereof) of a Palm comeback. The article looks at the recent flurry of activity from Palm centering around last week's Foleo announcement and this week's news of an equity investment from Elevation Partners and the infusion of ex-Apple talent to Palm's board of directors. The article, penned by CNET's Marguerite Reardon, goes into particular detail about speculating on the role of ex-Apple design guru Jon Rubinstein. While no new details are revealed, Reardon does mention a full line of upcoming Treos heading to market later this year through early 2008. No additional details on possible operating systems or form factors are given.
The article concludes with speculation that at least 18 months will pass before Rubinstein, only a little over a year removed from his key role within Apple, is able to exert his influence on new Palm devices.

Yikes. It's almost like e-tellurian moved over there. Couldn't be though; no e-com plugs. Hmm, we haven't heard from ET in some time. Maybe he finally went home. Thinking about Vista?

Probably not! 
 'Comeback'???
No no no..!!! If Palm will fight the Apple's IPhone by using the FOOLeo, it's not a comeback.. it's a GONEBACK. Casio B.O.S.S. -> Casio PocketViewer -> Palm IIIe -> Palm IIIc -> Tungsten T -> Tungsten T|3 -> Tungsten T|5 -> Palm T|X -> Treo 680 The FOOLeo = The Comeback Kid?The_Voice_of_Reason @ 6/8/2007 9:24:37 PM #
No no no..!!! If Palm will fight the Apple's IPhone by using the FOOLeo, it's not a comeback.. it's a GONEBACK. The FOOLeo will be an amazing product. Jeff Hawkins said so. He wouldn't LIE, would he???
RE: 'Comeback'???
Of course..!! The FOOLeo will be an amazing product. In a couple of months, the FOOLeo will replace the VTech kid's laptop of my 3 years-old nephew.

Don't Believe the Hype: The 21 Biggest Technology Flops We fondly recall 21 overpromoted products and technologies that utterly failed to live up to their hype -- and we give you a chance to choose the biggest flop of all. RE: Don't Believe the Hype: The 21 Biggest Technology Flops
Funny stuff. I voted just so I could see the current standings. So far, number one with 16 percent of the votes is Microsoft Bob. Thinking about Vista?

The Net PC They were designed to be placed unobtrusively throughout the home, providing a simple user interface for Web and e-mail access The problem: Net PCs were introduced just as the price of more intelligent desktop PCs was plummeting. Why buy an Foleo^H^H^H^H^H extremely limited device when you could get a full-featured computer for around $300? RE: Don't Believe the Hype: The 21 Biggest Technology Flops
Oh great. I'm the ONLY person to vote for Qube -- and it's STILL at 0%! RE: Don't Believe the Hype: The 21 Biggest Technology FlopsSeldomVisitor @ 6/9/2007 1:58:56 PM #

Perhaps they're...you know...telling you something?
I Bought A Foleo!!!
I just wanted to see how sick it felt to type that line. Man, was that sick! Try it for yourself! RE: I Bought A Foleo!!!
That'd be less than a T3 goes for right now. And a T3 will probably double in price in a year!
