I just wish the Foleo could be a refreshed version of the Psion Series 7 - same form factor (loved the leather casing), with the Palm Linux, WiFi, Bluetooth, more memory. The Series 7 also had an excellent messaging client that I have never seen anywhere else -- an integrated application for contacts, email, SMS and Fax.

The Foleo would do fine if they had just positioned it as a mobile phone companion. A no-frills phone with just Bluetooth & 3G would be a great partner for the Foleo. A Treo, or an iPhone? I would just skip the laptop part altogether.
