I recently purchased a Handspring Visor Deluxe. The only real differentiation from the one pictured is that it is a translucent blue color, but it's specs and functions are still exactly similar. I bought this originally just as something that I could use to play games on (there are hundreds of games out there-from Dreadling, a FPS game, to iRouge, a dungeon and dragons type of game; all for free) and to possibly store my address and such on. I gave it four stars for exactly two reasons. First of all, the price is a little high. For me, at least...I can't imagine that it's too high for some businessmen who make a six figure salary, but I don't make that much...It was kind've a leisure item. Secondly, the compatibily for wireless internet is horrendus. I'm anxiously awaiting a visor with wireless internet capabitlities, unfortunately that would involve selling my current one and replacing it with a more expensive one. A wireless internet springboard is available, from what I know. I haven't gotten the chance to test it out yet. I have found my Handspring Visor to be a wonderful addition into my life. I keep lots of books on it: 1984, The Hacker Crackdown, etc, etc. With the eight megs of memory, even I have not succeeded in filling it up to full capacity yet. I would definitely insist that 2 megs of memory is really not enough for someone who is going to use this device day in and day out. On the box they say something like, with the 2 megs you can store 140000 address or something. Sure, that's great-but it also means you can't put in more things that you want, such as document readers and games. One particular downside that I've notised with my handspring (this may affect some of you, I'm not quite sure) is the fact that it doesn't seem to be IR compatible with the Palm Pilot handhelds. This means that the small infrared port on the side can't transmit data, etc, to palm pilots-only to other handsprings. On the whole, I would defnitely recommend this device to anyone with enough money to afford it. It's on the pricey side, but is well worth it if you're willing to take the time to learn it's fucntions and uses (this will take about a week to pick up the handwriting technique used for it).
