Palm Foleo project is not dead, Palm WebOS netbook coming – Foleo II
Trip Chowdhry from Global Equities Research says Palm is working on a netbook that will run WebOS. Yes, it is the same webOS that is being used by the Palm Pre too. In the year 2007, Palm had announced a linux-based netbook called Foleo that was designed to work as an extension of their smartphones. Sadly, it never was able to hit the shelves.
This new webOS device known as Foleo II is being designed by the three developers from Apple iPod Team. The rumored Foleo II will come with a highly capable web browser and email client; will have great battery life and will cost around $350-$400.
Global netbook shipments to reach 50 million units in 2010
Global notebook shipments will reach approximately 200 million in 2010. According to Acer chairman, JT Wang, nebtooks will account for 25% or 50 million of total netbook sales.
As the netbooks get more powerful everyday, more and more people are buying netbooks as they are much more mobile than carrying a back-breaking notebook.
