I'd really want a full PIM suite on the Foleo, for the same reason that Outlook integrates a PIM with an email client. If you get an email with some kind of actionable content -- a request for information, a document requiring feedback, an appointment -- you often need to make task and calendar entries, at least in the corporate environments for which the Foleo is the target demographic. Roughly two-thirds of my work arrives via email, and the Palm Desktop is an integral part of my workflow. I could input and review task and calendar entries on the Treo, but I'd much rather do it on a full size screen and keyboard.
Some people have argued that the Foleo should mirror whatever is on the Treo. I only argue the the Foleo should at a minimum support the desktop conduits Palm's provided for over a decade -- without require third-party solutions.
