[From Rich, Kansas City, Mo.] Sammy, Popular Mechanics recently released their ten worst gadgets of the year list. The Palm Foleo was rated as the worst gadget of the year. Can't say that I'm surprised, although I think I might have rated the Microsoft Zune #1 and Foleo #2. You can find the article online here. "Sometimes, a product makes a Worst of the Year list for all the wrong reasons. Take the Foleo, Palm’s perfectly reasonable attempt to revolutionize ultra-lightweight laptops. We tested this 2.4-pound computer, which ran for up to 5 hours per charge, and despite a relentless pre-release trash-talking from the tech world (mainly from bloggers who hadn’t touched the thing) we liked it."
