While we're on the subject of drinks, I suppose you need a Unix drink, maybe the SCO Been Fizzled. Maybe we should mix up something appropriate for the Microsoft experience. Long Slow Screw? Oh, wait, I think that's been used. A Vista Screw Driverless? I guess we could go around the bar, collect all the unfinished, unwanted drinks, pour them into a bottle and call it the Brown Zune...
And then there could be the BlackBerry Whine if the unmentionable Apple product puts RIM out of business...

Tom! Palm Foleo?!?!
Hi Tom, reaching out to you in hopes that you will have a moment to just take a tiny look at just what has been lost with the Foleo.
No, I am not talking about the loss of trust of the Palm software developers who spent time writing software for the Foleo, who will not just have to eat the expense, nor am I talking of the loss of faith in us the devoted (and shareholders) who are looking with disbelief at a company that developed a whole OS to replace the current one (it was called Cobalt) only to decide at last minute to cancel it. D'OH!
OK, here is my point regarding the Foleo. Think for a moment about a 'laptop' that:
1. Weighed 2.5 pounds. I have an IBM X31 laptop (small--but plenty of times it is not small enough to just toss in a bag or walk out door with).
2. 5-hour-plus battery life with Wi-Fi on the whole time!
3. Very low power, environmentally friendly, easy and quick to charge, even right out of car electrical outlet.
3. Instant on and off. (This is a very compelling feature, think about it in daily use.)
4. Solid State hard drive. Small, but big enough to "get what you need done."
5. 10-inch screen (very usable and nice, not a nasty little 7-inch screen or even 8-inch).
5. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, e-mail, Web browsing--for many of us, this is what our work day is about.
6. $500.
Question (and the point really): where am I going to get something like this for $500? Where am I going to even get close to this for $1,000, or even $1,500! I can't!
I really do think this is a bit of a tragedy. Palm could have at least tried to sell this from its Web page and I think it would have done OK. Linux users may have lovingly adopted this.
Here is my hope: there is obviously a factory somewhere with capacity to make these things. Maybe (if you believe so too) it might be worth mentioning this on the podcast along with a thought: how about someone like Ubuntu selling a device like this with Open Office on it and Firefox? Would make for arguably an even more compelling tool than same with Palm.
Love the show and really appreciate your journalistic professionalism (and grammar--so please forgive me for my total lack thereof).
Best regards,
An actually pretty smart and insightful tech person,
Adam (pre-Veronica listener)
P.S. Props to Molly too (sexiest voice on radio, OK, podcast). I might have sent this to her but was fearful that in her present state of mind (iPod: kill, kill, kill) that she might also go off on some tangent of death regarding Foleo :)
