Gartner analyst Todd Kort has a bleak assessment of the Palm Foleo. In a nutshell he basically says it misses the mark and falls short for mobile users. It's a companion product for a smartphone, but most mobile users already have a laptop and don't want to carry an extra device.
"In an era in which increasing functionality is converging into ever-smaller devices, Palm has decided to buck the trend. The Foleo is too large for many smartphone users to consider carrying around as a limited-function accessory that requires a separate carrying case. Gartner believes that this unwieldiness will severely limit Foleo adoption by smartphone users, who place a premium on "pocketability" and attractive design."
