Palm’s Foleo companion, which had mixed prospects, has been canceled so the company can double down on its next-generation software platform. Reading between the lines, it appears the lukewarm reviews of the Foleo had an impact. It’s not a good sign when a company delays a product and no one notices.

In the end, Palm is making the right move. Why distract yourself with a product that could wind up as a doorstop? If Palm is going to right itself it needs to focus on its core smartphone market and developing an OS that will propel the company into the future.
