Enlarge The Picture

Product Description

The Handspring Visor, the first infinitely expandable handheld computer, is now even faster. In fact, the Visor Platinum is 50% faster than the Visor Deluxe. The Visor Platinum gives you enhanced power, speed and performance so you can access all your data and view crisp grayscale graphics without the wait. And, like the Visor, it comes with the unique Springboard expansion slot, so you can instantly snap in a digital camera, wireless modem or even a phone. Best of all, it is Plug and Play so there are no drivers to load. Just snap in a module and it works!If you're one of those people who uses lots of RAM, keeps tons of records, plays games or uses apps that have high-performance requirements, the Visor Platinum has the very speed you need. Now you can access all your data without the wait. And the grayscale graphics - with 16 shades of gray - are so crisp that every picture is as clear as day. What's more, since the Visor Platinum is based on the latest Palm OS, it's got new usability, security and navigation features, too.

If you don't use backlit a lot, this is it.

If you use handheld just to manage database like I do, this product is a good choice.The price is reasonable, and the silver case is impressive.8M is quite enough as long as I don't install a big dictionary.Still, here are some concerns I want to share with you:*the battery only lasts for two weeks instead of two months stated by Handspring (I am not a heavy user!).I got to get rechargeable AAA otherwise the bill for battery is unthinkable.*the screen got scratch easily.I only use it for two weeks...

Worth having if you need a central location for info.

First, I have experience with WinCE since I owned a Philips unit (the one before the Nino came out).But let's face it folks:you don't use a PDA to replace your PC -- you use it as a supplement that works hand in hand with it.I never once used the built in keyboard in anykind of serious fashion on that device.My excuse for buying the Visor Platinum was a program called DietLog for PalmOS (not available on WinCE).My dietician recommended it (I'm trying to lower my HDL cholesterol level --that program...

Handspring Visor Platinum (VPL) review

As a long-time user of PDA's (circa 1989), I must admit that the VPL, next to the Newton MessagePad, is quite affordable and versatile.And with the inclusion of the VisorPhone, I now carry only one device.Comparing the VPL to a Pocket PC is similar to comparing a Honda with a Lexus.Sure, both will perform the same function of getting from A to B, and the Lexus will carry one in style, but the Honda is more practical and less expensive to own and maintain.That's how I view the VPL.For what I want...
