By building the Foleo on an open Linux-based platform and publishing the tools developers might need, Palm hopes to establish a vibrant developer community to create new applications that extend the mobile companion’s built-in capabilities. Six Apart demonstrates the ease with which exciting technology and applications can be ported to the Palm Foleo mobile companion.

“Today’s customers are doing much more with their mobile devices, including staying in touch with online communities,” said Mark Bercow, senior vice president of business development for Palm, Inc. “Six Apart’s blogging applications take advantage of Foleo’s large screen and easy-to-use interface, making it simple for customers to take photos with their Treo(TM) smartphone, upload them to their blogs, then use the Foleo to edit and add text.
