Yes, but so? Realistically, if a device isn't pocketable, it might as well be a laptop. If you're going to be carrying a bag anyway, why not step up the rest of the way to a real laptop with full desktop compatibility, rather than a device like the Foleo which has no software base, and can only do email when attached to a Treo? I'm sure some people are willing to make the compromise, but I suspect not enough people to make the Foleo viable. If the UMPCs can't make it, why would a slightly larger device without the XP compatibility find a market? |
