This is the now dead product: The Foleo . It is a laptop thingy, but not a laptop.
“The Foleo was the pet project of Palm founder Jeff Hawkins, who proclaimed in May it was “the most exciting product I’ve worked on in a long time.” The device looked like a small laptop and was meant to work in tandem with a smart phone, allowing users to easily check e-mail and surf the Web. The company had originally said the device would go on sale by the end of the summer.”
This is Jeff Hawkins, the force behind the Foleo:
You see… if you push the button it turns off… or on… depending. See? See?
RIP Foleo!

I think Grover from Sesame Street would be an excellent spokesman for this product.

Super Grover is coming to the Civic Center, perhaps they can get a video spot with him. How goes the ‘end of evil’ search?
