It isn't wrong, but it sounds misleading to say the Visor Pro has a built-in microphone. It does, but you can't use it for anything out-of-the-box; it doesn't ship with any applications that use it, and I'm not sure any Palm application even could use it. You need to buy a Springboard expansion card to use it, like (probably) the one that makes it into a portable telephone. Perhaps just add a note like "...built-in microphone (for use by Springboard expansion cards only)...", but worded nicer.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.16.250.83 ( talk • contribs) 15:38, August 11, 2004
Any Visor one of the cellphone modules work with has a microphone.
The Platinum has a 4bit greyscale screen, which would make it superior to the Neo in hardware.
This page needs updated since PalmOne is defunct and has been restructured (again!) and is back to the old http://www.palm.com
PalmSource, where downloads of software like Palm Desktop were available from after the "split" into PalmOne and PalmSource, has been spun off as a seperate company and Palm Desktop and other downloads for 3-Com/USR, Palm Inc., PalmOne and Handspring PDAs are now all at www.palm.com—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.136.145.228 ( talk • contribs) 03:32, February 18, 2006
According to MobileDB (Springboards) you have a GSM Cellphone springboard module that costs $299 from Handspring. Philpalm ( talk) 04:03, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Philpalm
==Weight difference between reported weight and weight reported by mobileDB (Palm comparison chart)(6.1 oz) Maybe it is with alkaline batteries? Philpalm ( talk) 04:03, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Philpalm Philpalm ( talk) 04:03, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
The Prism's power button is on the right, unlike all others in the Visor line except the Edge. The thickness of the screen bezel's sides is also reversed from the other Visors. These changes are likely due to the color LCD. These changes also required any peripherals (like Palm's 'Gameface' joystick) which snap onto the front of a Visor had to be made in a unique version for the Prism. The Prism is also thicker (by 0.1") than any of the rest of the Visor line, unless the Edge with its Springboard attachment is thicker yet.
Length Width Thickness Weight Visor Prism 4.8" 3.0" 0.8" 6.9 oz. 12cm 7.5cm 2.1cm 194g
Visor Deluxe 4.8" 3.0" 0.7" 5.4 oz. 12cm 7.5cm 1.8cm 153g
The Prism and IIIc use exactly the same color LCD, the difference in displayable colors is due to the different display controller chips used.
The Prism also includes an LED for indicating the state of its battery while charging. Blinking indicates charging, steady indicates fully charged.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.220.237 ( talk • contribs) 03:56, April 3, 2006
Hi, I see there's no reference to Treo 90. I think there should be a few rows about.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.208.60.205 ( talk • contribs) 08:40, September 30, 2006
removed here [1] Visor's stylus design included two useful tools, a screwdriver on one end and a reset push tool on the other.
I own and use daily a Visor Deluxe. The stylus is only to control the PDA. It has no other functions. No screwdriver, no reset push tool. -- Walter 21:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Until the Treo, Handspring was first and foremost a copycat of the Palm. I'm not saying that negatively, just that the no reader could possibly understand what they're reading in this article without understanding that Handspring was first and foremost exact copies of palm devices, with token visual changes to make the process legal. The times I considered buying a handspring, it was because it was exactly like the Palm I wanted but cheaper. While there are people who were really attracted to the colored faceplates, I'm sure they are in the slimmest minority. Someone please say this in the article. (At the same time, more emphasis needs to be put on that reputation disappearing immediately upon release of the Treo.) -- Mrcolj ( talk) 10:08, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
The article mentions an "active Yahoo community" -- has anyone checked on it recently? I can find several old, abandoned Yahoo groups focused on Handspring PDAs, but recent postings are confined to irrelevant spam. 216.64.241.85 ( talk) 21:42, 25 January 2010 (UTC)RobinS, Handspring Neo user
