The New Handspring Visor: The Edge

Posted by Hemos on from the it-sounds-like-pizza dept.

Bono writes "Handspring had their site down until 11:30am today so they could announce their new handheld...the Visor Edge. Looks pretty sweet at .44" thick...although the Springboard expansion requires a little add-on that comes with it." When I first read the name all I could think was a thin Visor...with pizza toppings. In any case, the device looks pretty darn cool. The Springboard expansion reminds somewhat of the iPaq does, but hey, more devices, better.

    Agree do me to, but maybe Hemos checking speller or/and proof reed before posting? Not maybe look idiot, than.

    I have always been a fan of the PalmOS devices. I still use my PalmIII after three years. Handspring is a good machine too.

    Yet, this new "Edge" is simply not that much better .... here is a link to a handspring hosted comparison table. It shows that the Vx is smaller and lighter. Where the Edge is better is only because it has the latest software (which can be upgraded on the Vx anyway), has a microphone, the "springboard" (which I have never seen used...) and has a blinking light ... ;-)

    Really, Visor Edge is playing catch up still.
