Eto ang inabangan ko sa Web noong isang gabi: ang pinakabagong produkto ng Palm, Inc.: ang Palm Foleo. Mobile companion ang tawag sa bagong gadget na ito. Pam-partner kasi ito sa Palm Treo phones. Maaari mong i-sync sa Foleo ang e-mail at documents na nasa telepono mo. Puwede mo ring gamitin ang Internet connection ng Treo o ibang smartphone para makapag-surf sa Web. Ayon sa mga ulat, 256MB pa lamang ang internal memory nito, pero expandable dahil may SD/MMC slot.
Gusto kong magkaroon nito kahit wala pa akong Treo. Ang maganda kasi sa Foleo, standalone rin ito. Ibig sabihin, kahit wala kang Treo, magagamit mo rin ang Ultra Mobile PC o UMPC na ito sa pagsusulat ng documents, panonood ng mga litrato, at pagsu-surf sa Web gamit ang Wi-Fi connection sa mga hotspots. Dahil GMail ang gamit kong e-mail, ang kailangan ko lang ay Wi-Fi, o 3G connection ng ibang phone (na magko-connect sa Foleo via Bluetooth, at puwede na akong makapagpadala at makapag-attach ng kahit 20MB na mga larawan.
At dahil produkto ng Palm at Linux ang operating system, sabi nga ni Tonyo ay siguradong maraming developers ang gagawa ng third-party applications. Kapag nagkaganoon na, ang Foleo ay magiging higit pa sa isang maliit na laptop.

I really wanted to read this article but it’s NOT IN ENGLISH! Haha… guess I need to learn more languages. Anyone else with my problem will probably find what they want at Palm Foleo Review
Baka gusto mo munang subukan eto (http://atomicgirl.blogdrive.com/archive/578.html) bago ka bumili niyang foleo na yan? hehe.
Ops. Why did Blackberry pop into my mind? The phone beside the laptop’s a Palm product too, right? Sorry about that. *cringes in shame* 😀
Nice gadgetry you’ve got. I like the Blackberry phone beside the laptop. Cool. Mine’s old—160-character SMS, with a green monitor pa. Hehe.
@ Yoru: Actually, akala ko rin noong una, ganiyan ang bigkas. Pero nang i-review ko, parang malambot na folio pala, hehe.
[…] probably speaks English as good as I do, but Ederic of ederic@cyberspace writes in Tagalog (one of the Filipino languages). Luckily, I could read most of what he wrote […]
Ang cute naman nyan. (At dahil Filipino ang blog, akala ko fo-le-yo ang bigkas nya!) Hindi kaya napakamahal yan? 😀
