Well, if you consider news from yesterday old, I guess so. Here's the press release from Handspring, dated Oct. 10, stating that the MiniJam is finally shipping:

I think you have been confused by all the pre-release hoopla. InnoGear has been talking about this thing for a year, and you could start preordering them in July. But now they are finaly making it into customer's hands.

$250 for an MP3 module? By the time you pay $250 for the Visor deluxe and $250 for the MiniJam, it costs you $500!!!!

I think many will end up choosing the iPAQ over a Visor, if MP3 is their game. So far, the Visor has not been a success as far as SpringBoards are concerned. Even the memory modules sell at an horrible price. $80 for 8MB or storage....who are these guys kidding?

Looks like Jeff Hawkins has lost his touch!
