Pros: BEST PDA
Cons: What Cons?

I've heard of PDA's for a long time now, but I never wanted to shell out the $400 to get a decent one. The popular onslaught of PalmOS, the OS that is on most PDA's have come to a point where any IT professional is required to have one. I'm not a IT...

Pros: Price, Features, Usability, Upgradable, USB Connection
Cons: B/W Screen, Cover design

(Review updated 8/2/01)

With some stores, like Frye's Electronics in my hometown of Woodland Hills, CA, now offering "previously loved" (refurbished) Blue Visor Deluxes for $99.00, complete with the leather case, the Visor Deluxe now moves...

Pros: 8 megs of RAM; Springboard expansion slot; inexpensive thanks to newer models; excellent warranty support
Cons: Large form factor; awful backlight; slower CPU, older PalmOS version; no Flash RAM; requires batteries

Remember the good old days of the Palm III? Back when it was thought that 2 megabytes of RAM was enough, 4 was all you'd ever need, and 8 was overkill? How the only way of getting an 8-meg Palm was to buy a warranty-voiding conversion kit? And then...

Pros: Size,Quality Build, Easy To Use, Compatibility,Uses,SpringBoard Modules
Cons: None!

Well, first of all I will be honest I love electronic gadgets ive always got to buy a new one...

Pros: Internet Connectivity, Datebook+, Easily Accessible Information
Cons: You have to remember to keep it with you

Handspring Visors continue to fly off of store shelves. The interest in the handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) is reflected in the strong sales figures the company enjoys. For computer savvy users, there is usually no problem figuring out how to...

Pros: Price, Memory, Easy to use, fits in your pocket
Cons: can't upgrade the OS, Bigger than the Palm, The cover comes off

Straight out, I love my visor! It is an excellent machine, although it does have some downsides.

First, here are some of the downsides:
1) Size - It's somewhat bigger than the palm series of PDAs. it's still small enough to fit in the...

Pros: Expandability; sturdy; lots of memory
Cons: Hard plastic cover may be annoying to some

OVERVIEW

A few years ago when Palm dominated the PDA market, out sprang Handspring's Visor line into competition. They gradually became a leader in the PDA market, and for good reasons. Their products, although using the same Palm OS system,...

Pros: Ability to use Springboards, runs same software as PalmIII
Cons: Not as well-made as the Palm; battery life not as good.

I was one of the early adopters of the Visor Deluxe when they first hit the market. It was strangely exciting, if frustrating -- their Web store opened with little fanfare, only to crumble under the unexpectedly high response. Luckily, I managed to get...

Pros: affordable, expandable (with hardware and software)
Cons: no color, no flash memory

I bought my Visor Deluxe back in January, and have been completely satisfied with it. There are a ton of free software apps made for it (using the Palm OS), and the built in one's are pretty good too. While not as slim or as crisp as the Palm Vx, it...

Pros: 8MB, Springboard, Colors
Cons: Plastic Cover it comes with

I love my Handspring Visor Deluxe. I only bought it a few days ago, but it's hardly been out of my hands since. I was thinking about buying a Palm V for a while, but then had a conversation with my Physics teacher (a devoted Visor user). While he...

Pros: Palm Compatibility, Amazing Price, Tremendous Expandability
Cons: None

I've had my green Handspring Visor Deluxe for about two weeks now, and I'm thrilled. There's a lot of information floating around about this little device, and I'd like to clear up some things.

First, availability: For a few months, it was...

Pros: Price, expandibility
Cons: lousy backlight

The Operating System

Handspring Visor uses the identical Palm operating system. What this means is that your visor is essentially identical to Palm units. You can download and use any program designed for Palm. The reason this is...

Pros: 8 MB RAM, sturdy, colorful, easy to use, clear display.
Cons: The clear cases are kind of tacky...

Don't get me wrong, I love my boyfriend to death. One day, I hope to marry him. But he's not so great at buying presents. Therefore, I was totally blown out of the water this Christmas when I opened my gifts to find a new Handspring Visor Deluxe--in...

Pros: A capable Palm alternative that runs virtually all PalmOS applications
Cons: Useful "Springboard" expansion modules have yet to materialize; no longer competitively priced

In October of 1999, I bought my Handspring Visor Deluxe as they were first loosed upon the technology market. I was attracted by the value: an 8-megabyte, PalmOS-based PDA at a then-unheard-of US$249, with a "Springboard" expansion slot to...

Pros: Fast, feature packed. Tons of PalmOS apps work on it. Springboard modules mean you can use the visor for all sorts of things.
Cons: Kind of boxy. I want more modules!!!

We all want to be organized. We like the idea of having all of life’s little details well within reach. The trouble people face, myself included, how do you do that? How do you keep track of so much information and have it readily available? Humans...
