We're still of the opinion that
Palm should just abandon the whole
Foleo concept and work on making the Treo competitive again, but despite our
pleas, the company appears to be proceeding towards launch --
manufacturing delays or not. Our tipster spotted the gentlemen pictured rocking what certainly appears to be a Foleo at an oil-change joint in Redwood City, California, and sent in a few snaps. According to her, our guy was happily typing away on the unit, occasionally stopping to refer to his phone (which obviously appears to be a Treo). That's all the info we've got -- but judging from the look on this guy's face, the Foleo is just as frustratingly not-a-laptop as we assumed from the
start. Two more shots after the break.

How is this news worthy? U have some sneak shots of a well groomed santa claus using a laptop and a treo and it's instantly thought to a Foleo? Quite a stretch I must say. Boooo!!

Ahh, what a predicament you've put me in.
On one hand, I've gotta say: if it's not news worthy, in your book, how it is comment worthy? Don't wanna hear about it, we don't wanna hear about you not wanting to hear about.
But, on the other hand, I've GOTTA gived you your PROPS. Calling him a "well-groomed Santa"...THAT IS GENIUS!!! xDDD
You're good in my book!...although naughty in that Foleo user's...and that's the real list that counts....unless they can get a snap of St. Peter using a Nokia iPhone.

Man, Palm's got it tough, Samsung got sexy young Korean thangs, Palm has Tim Allen from 'The Santa Claus'....

Looks like this guy might have some explaining to do to Palm's legal department since he's probably a Beta tester who was asked not to use the device in public.

It seems as though the editors at this webmag are dead set against the Foleo. Kind of sad, as there is definitely a market for this type of device. I liken this response to a group of children in the back seat of the car moaning and groaning because "daddy" is not going to take them to the DQ before he goes to Radio Shack. At least wait until the friggen thing is released before you pee on it - Calvin!
