Pink Palm Centro on the Way?

Postmortem Palm Foleo Hands-On

FoleoThey weren't too kind when it was still a living, breathing device – as a matter of fact they, along with the majority of the internet community, were downright scathing – but popular tech blog Engadget has managed to get their hands on Palm's doomed Mobile Companion, the hapless Foleo. A short review is pending, but in the meantime they’ve thrown up a gallery of pics, perusable here.

The oft-maligned Foleo was announced in May this year, to general derision from the Internet technocrati. The brainchild of Palm founder Jeff Hawkins, it was meant to spearhead a new Palm product line, but was instead ignominiously cancelled barely three months later. If you're interested in even more shots of the Foleo in action, checkout PIC's hands on preview from the announcement.
