Hold on in your Foleos, folks, because it seems like Palm still hasn’t given up on the concept of a bit of laptop that pairs with a phone for wireless communications. However, where that former (failed) experiment called for entirely disparate hardware, here the relationship between the two could be far more formal. In a patent filed in April and just dug up by Unwired View, Palm describes a ” compact removable voice handset” and an ” integrated palmtop computer.” The two can communicate wirelessly, but more interestingly they are able to be coupled such that ” there is minimal increase to the total size and weight” of the palmtop — in other words, the ” phone” bit isn’t particularly large, making it more comfortable to hold up for your face in a conversation than your Streaks and so forth. Is there actually any hardware behind this application or is this just Palm daydreaming about a Foleo 2? We’ll all just should wait and find out.
