Palm Cancels Foleo
Thoughts from the President & CEO of DataViz
As many of you have surely heard, Palm announced last week that they have cancelled the Linux-based Foleo mobile companion which was expected to be available for purchase very soon. Our President & CEO, Dick Fontana, wanted to share his thoughts on Palm's decision and what it may mean for the future.
“Palm has been a valued partner of ours for over ten years and we have been involved with Foleo for over three of them. As such, we have put a great deal of effort into building a Linux-based Documents To Go for the Foleo project.
We see this Linux project as a necessary step in our journey and partnership with Palm. The decision to cancel the launch of Foleo is something that comes with the territory. It is a necessary bump in an otherwise great journey, and bodes well for Palm as it indicates they have tighter focus and better opportunities calling.”
- Dick Fontana, President & CEO, DataViz Inc.

Is there any chance that the Linux-based Documents-to-Go could be made available to people running Linux in general?
Or better yet, make a Documents-to-Go that runs on Linux and serves up OpenOffice documents to my Palm handheld?
