My opinion... The Foleo might be useful to some. And yet, it is completely un-revolutionary, unlike the Treo when it came out.
Palm has fallen far behind in the innovation department and has lost considerable market share. Instead of renovating their one and only winning product, the now-bulky Treo, they ignore all pleas from Palm fans to come up with something, uhm, that is new. Other than the lower price and longer battery life, the Foleo has no benefits over a UMPC from Microsoft or Samsung. The UMPC, on the other hand, is lighter and offers more functionality.
And the thing about Linux... Linux alone isn't going to make the Foleo fly.
