Think about the work you do on the go. If you’re like most people, you check email, visit websites, and maybe look at a photo or two. Your smartphone is great for these things when you’re looking for quick bits of information or sending a brief response to an email. There are times you may want a big screen and keyboard to view attachments, type longer emails, or get a bigger look at web pages and photos you’d normally view on your smartphone. But you’d rather not take your laptop along—and let’s face it, you don’t always need everything on it.

The Palm® Foleo™ mobile companion doesn’t want to be your laptop. It’s lightweight, elegant and thoughtfully designed for the things you do most on the go. Press one button and it’s on. Instantly. Press another button and watch as Foleo connects wirelessly with your smartphone to bring your inbox to the big screen. You can also view and edit Office documents and even run PowerPoint® presentations from it. And with up to five hours of battery life packed into such a compact design, you’ll do big things wherever you go. So leave your laptop docked at your desk more often. With the Foleo mobile companion, you carry only what you need. Not everything you have.

Sony Reader Electronic Paper

Friday, July 27th, 2007

The Sony Reader is expected to bring a whole new meaning to “book smart.” Coupling an innovative electronic paper display with precise one-handed navigation and a stylish, durable design, the Sony Reader will allow active readers to carry as much as they want to read whether they are traveling on the road or just around the corner. Roughly the size of a paperback novel, but thinner than most (about .5 inches thin), the device can store hundreds of books in internal memory with the addition of an optional Memory Stick or Secure Digital (SD) card. The electronic Reader can also store and display personal documents in Adobe PDF format, favorite web content like blogs or news feeds, and JPEG photos.
