http://www.pdalive.com/forums/showthread.p...&threadid=13816

When Palm announced the Foleo in May, it didn't give a definite
release date for this device, just that it would be available at some
point this summer. According to an anonymous source, though, the first
model in Palm's new Mobile Companion class of products will debut on
August 22.
This is supposedly the date this device will go on sale on Palm's web
site and its retail stores. The Foleo is expected to be available in
Best Buy and other stores starting in November.

Palm has already announced what the price will be: $600, but Palm will
offer a $100 rebate at its introduction.
