15 minutes of hands-on time with the Palm Foleo, still not quite sold on it yet

So after spending probably 15 minutes total with the Palm Foleo I still it may be a tough sell for Palm. The Palm Treo market is good, but still small compared to all mobile phones that are out there and now you have a device that you have to convince only Treo users (at this time) they need. There does seem to be a lot of 3rd party support being announced lately so it will be interesting to see the full functionality that the device has when it is eventually released. I do see the merit in having a device that serves as a sort of companion, but when most Treo business users probably already have a laptop I just don't think the need is there. At US$599, I would rather pay another US$250 for something like the HTC Advantage that is coat-pocketable, has a 3.5G HSDPA radio, and can be used as a stand alone device. I'll give the Foleo a final look if I get a review unit in the near future.
