Well, the Handspring Visor isn't specifically discussed in "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide," 2nd Edition (which came out in July). However, as you probably know, the Visor is almost 100% identical to the Palm III, which is exhaustively covered in the book... the only part that's not covered is the Springboard modules that the Visor can accept.
And since there aren't any yet, I think we're safe.:) Seriously, though, I'll probably write a Visor update to the book and post it at the "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide" Web site (http://palmpilot.oreilly.com/)... when there's something to say about it.

NOT MUCH NEW!? You must not be looking at the same book I am! The new edition is over 100 pages longer than the first. It has all-new coverage of Palm IIIx, Palm V, Palm VII, and 50 pages alone on the new Macintosh software. New chapters on Palm databases and spreadsheets. A new chapter covering rechargeable batteries. New discussions of memory and how to extend it. Over 200 new tips and tricks. New section on Graffiti alternatives. Writing your own Palm VII query apps. How to make your own Doc files. Getting AOL e-mail from the road. ALL of this is totally new in the 2nd Edition.
And a TOTALLY new CD-ROM with 3,100 apps (over 3 times more than the 1st edition) in an all-new, searchable, illustrated, auto-installable catalog program.
How can you POSSIBLY say there's not much new!?

Its actual name is "Palm Programming: the Developer's Guide." It's available from Amazon or wherever fine books are discounted.
