Pair of Palm ISVs promise Foleo ports
Jun. 18, 2007

Two ISVs (independent software vendors) have announced plans to port their commercial applications to Palm's forthcoming Linux- and ARM-based miniature laptop. Astraware will offer Sodoku and Solitaire applications, while MotionApps will port its mDayscape PIM (personal information manager) to the Foleo, the companies said.

Palm unveiled Foleo in late May, saying the device would ship by summer's end. Described as a "revolutionary" class of device that adds a full-size keyboard and screen to mobile phones, the Foleo looked to many observers more like a small laptop -- albeit one based on the ARM architecture, with all the power management advantages -- i.e., instant on/off -- that the use of an ARM processor enables.

Days after unveiling Foleo, Palm announced plans to sell off about a quarter of the company to Elevation Partners, an investment firm run by Fred Anderson, and associated with corporate housecleaning. As CFO, Anderson helped engineer Apple's most recent turnaround.
