I always liked the Aero, however, I did find Windows CE to be a bit buggy particularly when trying to use it with my Linksys router. DHCP would not work and it required some unusual tricks to allow file sharing over the network. Also, you cannot upgrade to a newer version of Windows CE. I hope that is not the case with the Foleo. The main thing the Foleo needs right now is more applications, which I hope will be developed over time. Maybe even have Firefox ported!

What is missing is a pocket size computer with a touch type keyboard. The old HP 820 never was a hit as it was too large but there is a market for the pocket size clamshells if they had a more mainstream OS. I will not nor ever buy anything with a thumb keyboard so I am holding out hopping for something to buy. Price is not an issue but rather what it must have is a touch type keyboard and it must fit into a jacket pocket.
