I've just come home only to find that Palm has finally made the Foleo announcement official. While reading about the Palm Foleo I had a quick thought about this being a good compromise between a Sony Reader/Irex and a PDA device. So, I raced over to start a thread over on Mobileread only to find that good old Bob was already on the ball!

I've been thinking about a Sony e-book reader but have been holding back for two reasons:

a) lack of backlight
b) lack of software

The Foleo could be a very interesting device! A small laptop but with a longer battery life and without noisy fans and air-vents? These are normally expensive!

The following hours, days are going to be exciting!!!
