Also, you reminded us that you're a hell of a clever lot that not seemed to think we were justified in totally panning Palm's new Foleo. So here are some of the top nicknames we've heard it given:
Feel free to leave some more in comments!
My Port-Foleo.
Fauxleo
Laptop
Powerbook 1400
Palm Tombstone
(actually I stole that one from Evander who posted it somewhere else)
Speak and Spell
Nice one, John.
Boat anchor
Audrey...
Wack Hawk Down
Palm Polio
Cornfoleo?
Foleo-yard
Palm Failureo –noun 1. an act or instance of failing or proving unsuccessful; lack of success: His effort ended in failureo. The campaign was a failureo.
Fole Oh No!
"Palm Polio" Neal, your so mean. That's sick.
This is our Newton-o-leo.
Foldeo or the Flopeo
Palm Phoneyeo
Lameo
I like "Flopeo" and "Powerbook 1400". And "Laptop". You can't beat these.
The Palm LOL
Fo-late-eo
Faileo

Brick
Landfill
You cant beak “Brick” or ”Laptop” but Fooleo gets right to the point. It’s a N800 with a keyboard. But, the N800 would be a more appropriate size. How is this better than the OLPC? At three times the price…
Cowkitty,
Why would Google need them? You could start from scratch and have a better product. You could work with Apple on the iPhone and have better market share. You could be the glue, and leave the product to the CE companies.
Yeah, 'Foolio' was the first thing that came to mind when I found out what it was.
Having gone all the way from a Pilot1000 to a Treo today, I was thoroughly disappointed with this announcement.
Interesting.. Gates has his right leg crossed over his left and Jobs has his left leg crossed over his right. If interpreted, shows that Gates is more left brain dominant (logical) and Jobs is more right brain dominant (creative).
I'm surprised that nobody went for the worst:
Mark Foley-o.
So...who is Yoda and who is the Emperor?
You think these guys would dress nicer, considering the kind of money they make.
Bill looks like a high school teacher...and Steve looks like well, a high school teacher on the weekends.
Dress up for gods sake!
Foldeo.
(Wait for it)
ooh ooh I got another one!
'Joke'
Steve just wants to slap the shit out of bill. His face is red in the shot. He's red with anger!!
Bill just wants to suck the genious out of Steve.
you would think that Jobs could have at least tied his shoes.
lol-io
No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
fellatio
Palm Failure.
Definitive and none too early. What a joke of a company! They squandered all the advantage they had on M$ and were incapable of any real innovation in years. They deserve to go tits up...
Palm NotiPhone.
And therefore entirely without merit.
