I just received this e-mail message…

————————————-

“…I have decided to cancel the Foleo mobile companion product in its current configuration and focus all our energies on delivering our next generation platform and the first smartphones that will bring this platform to market…

“…Our own evaluation and early market feedback were telling us that we still have a number of improvements to make…

“…We’re not going to speculate now on timing for a next Foleo…

“…This decision is in the best interest of our customers, our team, our products and our shareholders…”

Ed Colligan
President & CEO
Palm, Inc. 950 W. Maude Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94085-2801

I’m disappointed in the delay, but still want this thing.

I edited this message I received for brevity…
