Ok seriously. Yes … they did. And this does something other than excite me about the fact that I’ll be able to get my game on with my smartphone companion, it excites me about the possibility of some serious third party development for the Foleo which could turn it into a fairly useful device besides a simple email and calendar box.

From the press release:

SUNNYVALE, Calif., and KEELE, Staffordshire, U.K., June 18, 2007 – Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM) and Astraware Limited today announced the first two games for Palm’s new Foleo mobile companion – Astraware Sudoku and Astraware Solitaire. Additional titles from Astraware will follow.

….

By building the Foleo on an open Linux-based platform and publishing the tools developers might need, Palm hopes to establish a vibrant developer community to create new applications that extend the mobile companion’s built-in capabilities. Astraware demonstrates the ease with which exciting technology and applications can be ported to the Foleo mobile companion.
