Handspring Visor Information
This
page is no longer actively maintained but please feel free to
report any dead links & I will
update or remove.
 I
used a Psion 3c as a pda for years
but when a good deal came up I switched to the Handspring
Visor. The Visor is an expandable palmtop that runs the
popular Palm OS. It has the ability to run thousands of Palm
OS applications in addition to the built in calender, to-do
list, memo pad, calculator and world clock.
I
also have a VisorPhone,
which plugs into the springboard expansion slot at the top of
the visor and adds mobile phone and wireless modem features.
The Springboard expansion slot is one of the Visors main advantages
over the Palm Pilots, it allows you to just snap a Springboard
module into the slot and the Visor can instantly become an mobile
phone, Mp3 player, GPS receiver, digital camera and more.
Visor
& Linux
J-Pilot and pilot-link
make the perfect companion to the Visor for Linux users, J-Pilot
is a graphical desktop organizer application similar in functionality
to Palm Desktop. The required pilot-link tools are a robust
library and a series of conduits for moving information between
your workstation and your Visor and are required for J-Pilot.
