Handspring Unveils Ultra-Thin Visor

Handspring Inc., has released what it claims to be its first slim-design handheld, branded as the Visor Edge, bringing the ultimate in portability and flexibility to the Visor product line. The new release features a detectable Springboard slot that gives users the option to use Springboard expansion products as needed while affording the benefits of a more slim design when modules are not in use, the company said.

Commenting on the evolution of the Visor family, Ed Colligan, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Handspring, said, "Customers embraced our first Visor products because of the infinite possibilities made real by the Springboard expansion slot. Visor Edge is a natural evolution of that family, adding a more stylish design and greater portability while maintaining compatibility with all the Springboard expansion modules."

The new release offers all the enhanced performance benefits of the admired Visor Platinum edition along with all the basic Visor features such as enhanced applications, Mac OS compatibility and Springboard expansion slot.

In addition the Visor Edge Features the following:

  • Palm OS 3.5.2 H
  • DragonBall VZ 33 MHz processor
  • 8 MB of RAM
  • Rechargeable battery
  • Monochrome screen supports 16 shades of gray
  • Two unique software functions
  • Fast Lookup allows users to access contact information quickly using the application buttons.
  • Silent Alarm offers users a visual reminder of appointments, ideal for occasions when audible alerts are not appropriate.
  • Detachable Springboard slot fits into the Edge connector, at the back of the device, compatible with existing and forthcoming module products.

The Mountain View, California-based company expects to ship international language versions of Visor Edge beginning in April.
