I second the fully featured browser. If they can’t put firefox then minimo would be the next option.

I think a photo editing program would be cool. Nothing desktop like because the CPU wouldn’t handle it but something like the ones available on Palm would be better on the big screen. Reading RSS feeds and ebooks would be nice and doable.

A lightweight web publishing application I think would also work well. The only time I was able to maintain a webpage was when I had my convertible Tablet beside my bed and did my maintenance first thing in the morning. Now I have my Q1 and I missed that keyboard enough that I stopped updating.

I don’t mind not having video because it looks the device doesn’t have that much power but some old school emulation is a must!

Basically I think that’s about all I’d need when I’m laying around at home or resting for a bit on the road.

I’d buy one if it had X11 support… that’s the usual *nix way of displaying applications with graphics, and would near-instantly give the Foleo access to every open source linux app — including Firefox.

For me personally, if the Foleo and the Treo are going to be really tight, I would really like to see Chapura have conduits for their Keysuite, and I would like to see Franklin Covey have conduits for their organization and time management tools as well. They both have Palm OS native applications that extend the Treo Functionality for me.

Other applications that are critical for me are RSS readers (I prefer to download the articles rather than using a web-based viewer), and real web browsers that come close to emulating a desktop or full laptop experience.

Media applications for me are superfluous. I use other devices for audio and video. I don’t like a single point of failure.

Thanks for the great blog. I’ve been reading a long time, but this is my first comment!
