New Handhelds

Now there are two new members of the Visor family. Both will be available in retail stores in November—but if you can't wait, they're shipping now from Handspring.com.
Visor Platinum
If you're looking for speed, Visor Platinum has what you need—because the Visor Platinum is 50% faster than the Visor Deluxe. This enhanced power, speed and performance lets you access all your data really quickly and view crisp grayscale graphics without the wait. And you'll be really impressed by what it does for games and applications that require improved performance.

Cost: $299. Free Shipping for a limited time!

Visor Prism
Add color to your life and your handheld computer with Visor Prism, the first infinitely expandable full-color handheld computer. It displays over 65,000 vibrant colors so not only is everything crisper, brighter and easier to read, it's amazingly colorful too—just wait till you see what color does for some of our Springboard modules. Plus, the Visor Prism's internal battery recharges right in the cradle, so after a few minutes in its cradle you're ready to go.

QuickTips

Here are a couple of ways you can shave precious seconds off the tasks you perform most often:

Create Your Own Shortcut
Most of us know that dragging the stylus from the Graffiti area up toward the top of the screen will bring up the Graffiti help screen. But once you've got it all memorized, you probably won't use it much anymore. Why not reprogram the easy one-stroke shortcut to perform another task that you use more often? Like beaming. Or turning off and locking your Visor handheld. Or turning on the backlight.

It's easy. From the Application Launcher, find and tap the Preferences icon. Choose Buttons from the pull-down in the upper right-hand corner, then tap the Pen button. Select the feature you want the stylus stroke to bring up, then tap okay. You're done and ready to perform your selected action in record time.

Faster Access to the Names You Use Most
Find you have a couple of names and numbers in your address book that you use more than others? Want to be able to access them more quickly and easily? Try putting a space or period before the last name. It'll show up at the top of your list, saving you all kinds of scroll and search time.

 

Modules

So, we've covered color and speed... how about sound? Well, we've got two new modules that take care of that, too. The my-Vox Digital Voice Recorder from Shinei, and InnoGear's MiniJam MP3 player.

My-Vox Digital Voice Recorder
Now there's a new way to store important info in your Visor handheld: your voice. Just plug in this Springboard module and by pressing a single button you can record memos, messages, reminders—whatever needs remembering.

Cost $69.95

MiniJam MP3 Player
With InnoGear's new MiniJam MP3 Player module, if you've got your Visor, you've got music. Just download digital music files to your desktop, synchronize, and you're ready to rock. All the software you need is included right on the module and you can add up to 64MB of memory for about an hour of solid sound. You'll never be without your tunes again.

Cost: 32 MB $199
64 MB $259
