As the launch date of the Foleo is aproaching , it follows logic that the pieces would start to come together regarding the specification details of this new Palm.

Processor. The first device on Palm’s new Mobile Companion category of products will be built around a 416 MHz Intel/Marvell PXA27x processor and it will sport a Marathon 2700G graphics accelerator to increase the speed of its graphical user interface and to allow a connection to an external monitor.

Storage. The Foleo will feature a 128 MB of RAM for holding currently running applications, and 256 MB of non-volatile memory but half of its built-in storage will be used by the operating system and bundled applications, and the rest will be available to users.For additional long-term storage, this model will have a CompactFlash slot located behind its battery. The largest card it supports is 4 GB. The Foleo will also feature a SD card slot but as Palm said ,it can’t use high-capacity SD cards so its limit is 2 GB.

Networking. Infrastructure and ad-hoc Wi-Fi networking configurations will supported by the Foleo. Open, WEP, WPA, and 802.1X Enterprise security configurations will be available to users, while WPA2 will not.Any flash drive or standard hard drive that conforms to this profile will be automatically mounted upon connection. It will support both FAT16 or FAT32.

The Foleo Mobile Companion will be released in the coming weeks, although Palm has not yet announced exactly when.
