SAN FRANCISCO & SUNNYVALE, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) — Six Apart, the world’s leading independent blogging software and services company, is working with Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) to give Palm(R) Foleo(TM) mobile companion customers access to Six Apart’s wide range of blogging services, including Vox, LiveJournal, TypePad and Movable Type. With these services available on the Foleo, users can keep blog and journal entries up to date and stay current with their communities while on the go.(1)

(NOTE: Palm announced the Foleo mobile companion on May 30. Video and images are available from Palm’s Multimedia Library (www.palm.com/MultimediaLibrary) and from Business Wire (http://www.businesswire.com/cgi-bin/mmg.cgi?eid=5410999).)

The Palm Foleo mobile companion is for people who understand that sometimes less is more. With the press of one button, the mobile companion’s large screen displays wireless email from a paired smartphone. A smartphone is great for finding quick bits of information or sending a brief response to an email, but there are times when a full-size keyboard and a big screen is preferred to view attachments, type longer emails, or to get a bigger-screen look at web pages and photos. Plus, Internet access is available anywhere there is cell phone coverage, or when the Foleo is within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot.(1) With Foleo’s instant on/off capability, light weight and small size, and 5-hour battery life, Palm expects the mobile companion to establish a new category of personal-computing products.

“It’s vitally important for our business and individual customers to have access to their blogs and journals,” said Aaron Emigh, executive vice president and general manager of core technology for Six Apart. “Our work with Palm allows our customers to keep their content fresh and current with the latest in mobile technology.”
