BlackBerry PlayBook vs Apple iPad

, Sep 27th 2010 Discuss [13]

As with any tablet release that garners any kind of attention, the inevitable has to happen: how does it compare to the iPad, Apple’s own tablet device? Unfortunately, unlike other tablet releases of late, comparing the BlackBerry PlayBook versus Apple’s iPad is a bit tough, as RIM made sure that their tablet was hidden behind some pretty thick Plexiglas. But, we can project what we imagine the differences may be, and we can compare sizes, where many people will wager their buying decision. It may not be as in-depth as we’d like, but it’s a start, at least until we can get our hands on the final build of a PlayBook.

Palm Foleo hits eBay [Update: Sold for $750!]

, Jun 30th 2010 Discuss [1]

Palm's Foleo was - depending on who you ask - either the ideal companion device, cruelly axed before it had a chance to shine, or a pointless distraction for the company's engineers and implicit in their downward spiral.  Either way, if you've always wanted to own one yourself, now you have the chance.  Ixle picked up a Foleo a month or so ago and has been blogging about it ever since; now he's putting the Palm pseudo-netbook back up on eBay.

RIM BlackPad tablet a WiFi/Bluetooth “companion” device; could drop this year

, May 13th 2010 Discuss [1]

The BlackBerry tablet rumors continue, and it's looking more like a case of "when" RIM will out their touchscreen marvel rather than "if".  BGR's usual sources have come through with some information that seemingly corroborates what we heard last week; namely, that the tablet - codenamed BlackPad, we've heard before - will be a companion device rather than standalone product, which basically means no integrated 3G, only Bluetooth and WiFi.

OLO Computer iPhone-integrated netbook concept looks unlikely

, Oct 13th 2008 Discuss [0]

One of the regular concepts we see over at iPhoneBuzz is Apple slotting the iPhone 3G into the palm-rest of a MacBook and making it serve double-duty as connectivity and multitouch trackpad.  When it's attributed to Apple it's pretty laughable; when a third-party claims to be doing it, as is the case with OLO Computer, you fall off the scale into hilariously unlikely.

SlashGear Week in Review

, Apr 27th 2008 Discuss [1]

It’s been a week of ultraportables, frankly, with enough budget laptops vying for the Eee’s crown to make the whole market more than a little confusing.  Medion announced their Akoya E1210 while 3K unveiled their own alternative; meanwhile, MSI finally released some decent photos of the Wind.  Thankfully there’s now a comprehensive list of all the options available, meaning attention has turned from cataloguing to pondering whether Palm will join the fray with a re-worked version of the Foleo companion.  Stranger things (like the first Foleo, you could say) have happened.

Could Palm revive the Foleo as another Eee rival?

, Apr 24th 2008 Discuss [8]

When Palm sent out invitations for users to trial an "innovative new product" earlier on this week, the criteria that participants must be heavy smartphone and email users, have a WiFi router and an account with Sprint led many to presume that it referred to the Treo 800w.  That handset - long in the making, and believed to be hitting Sprint in July - is expected to have the usual full thumbboard as well as WiFi, EV-DO Rev.A and Windows Mobile 6, and it seems reasonable that Palm would be beta testing it around now.  However, just as we were all about to file the rumor away, another possibility was suggested: could Palm be reviving the Foleo?

REDFLY Mobile Companion – like Palm Foleo for your Windows Mobile devices

It only works with Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6, but it works almost exactly how the Palm Foleo was supposed to. The only sad thing is that the Foleo worked with both WinMo and Palm’s mobile OS, why couldn’t they pull that off with this notebook? Read The Full Story

REDFLY by Celio plans to pick up where Foleo never started

Hmm, Palm Foleo, nope doesn’t ring a bell. I’m wondering, why would anyone want to put out their version of a product that didn’t fare so well to begin with? Maybe they like a challenge? Read The Full Story

Palm Foleo Dead but apparently not entirely forgotten

So the Palm Foleo was going to be this amazing device, it was going to be the thing that took smartphones to the next level. For those who’ve never heard of the device or forgot what it was supposed to do, it was basically going to be an ultra-portable extension of the smartphone allowing you to use a lot of the same apps and such that are on your smartphone in a larger, more user friendly version.

Palm delays upcoming OS – Is this the beginning of the end?

I have to say, Palm is headed for trouble. Yes, the Centro is certainly refreshing, but can it really save Palm? People have been crying out for some time that they are in a slump, so not all that long ago they showed off their saving grace, the Palm Foleo. Well, I don't think I have to tell you what happened there. Don't worry though, they've finally got the next version of their OS on the way. Right? Read The Full Story

One2OneMate StudentMate is technically a UMPC for $400

It weighs less than two pounds and has a touch screen which seems to be the more important qualifications for a UMPC. On top of that there is a full keyboard, no num pad though. The screen is seven inches and has a resolution of 800x480. The StudentMate has both WiFi and Ethernet connectivity options. It runs on Linux which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Read The Full Story

Palm kills Foleo ‘Smartphone Companion’ to focus on next-gen OS

, Sep 4th 2007 Discuss [1]

Palm giveth, Palm taketh away. You know the Foleo "smartphone companion" we were all so, well, maybe not stoked about but at least interested enough to say "meh, okay?" with a little feeling - well, Palm CEO Ed Colligan has just axed it. In a statement on the Palm Official Blog, Colligan expresses his doubts that the company could support two different platforms - the Foleo's and the ongoing development of the next-gen Palm OS - and as such has decided to kill off the compact not-quite-a-laptop before it even launched.
