Lets just say Palm is reading this and hears us out what apps we need on a Foleo for us to buy it.... or maybe Linux developers out there who have advanced access to a Foleo can work out apps for us... lets list them down. Let me start... 1. Agendus Pro 2. Media Player 3. iTunes 4. IM app Thats all i really ask for. Once i know we can get these apps in a Foleo (even if we have to pay for it), I'll be grabbing that Foleo once it comes out!!

You may need to put your hands together in prayer for a cpu upgrade to allow the playback of video while wishing for the Media Player.

Such as GIMP, Open Office, etc? I'm planning on getting the Foleo so I'm looking into getting what apps I will want to get for it. I'm not sure where to look. freewarepalm was where i got nearly everything i use on my T5 and a few things I found out via here. Still no word on Palm keeping their word on the Pslm OS versions apps support on the linux OS? I remember reading shortly after I got my T% that we would be able to run the Palm OS software on their new linux devices. Anyways any links to linux device apps sites would be great.

Other than that, I think Joel had a good list of categories up there. People expecting video and Photoshop are not being realistic with the storage and horsepower limitations this will have. Maybe Palm will ramp both of these to a point where more will be possible but then the price will be more and this creates other issue for potential customers.

To be honest i just want the damn thing to run palm apps, thats all i need. Also I dont know why you people keep insisting it isint powerful enough, the iphone runs a 600-700 mhz arm chip, so im sure the Foleo is running something at that speed or higher.

I believe that is the same CPU as the T5 and I run 480x320 video at I believe 200 bitrate 15 fps video and 64 kbit/sec stereo mp3 audio with no overclocking. I would expect the Foleo to run video and play music just as good if not better than the T5. I really want to run my palm apps on it as well which is why they better have kept their word from some time back that they would make it possible. Although I am willing to look for linux based programs that do the same thing as the palm apps I have I'd much rather just use the ones I have. I have no clue where to look for linux based software to run on a linux based device. I had to come here as well to find good sources for palm based software because the sites were near impossible to find with the plethora of sites that show up in searches now a days.
