I really like the grippable (dunno if that's a real word) feel of the casing, like the same soft touch used on the 755p.

I asked one of the reps about the release date and she said later this summer, then I was like, "so around august?" and she totally stonewalled my baiting tactic by repeating the "later this summer" line, hahaha, it was all good fun. I thought the sneak peek totally rocked, they put out drinks and food for people to sip and munch on the whole time, very classy I thought. Oh dude, and did you get the schwag bag?
I have to agree about the soft touch paint's traction. I almost have a kinky fetish for holding the Foleo just for its tactile elegance.

I think everone's agreed on August 22, but I would've been surprised to hear the staff confirm it in an official capacity. I've noticed over the years that Palm generally releases new products within about a week of the most rumored release date.

And yeah, I grabbed another bag. I'm on my second $15 Starbucks card!
