Comments on: Handspring Gives Money to Support Nonprofits

The Handspring Foundation, a fund established in March to support organizations and programs dedicated to improving their communities, has awarded its first round of grants. They selected five nonprofit organizations to receive grants of up to $15 thousand. Also, they announced the launch of their Product Donation Program to give handhelds to nonprofit organizations and the Handspring Volunteerism Campaign.

 Good job.

It's nice to hear about a company that still cares. Let's hear it for Handspring. Now if they only followed this up with an announcement for the Visor Twist.....

 Sigh!

OK, so now we're going to see homeless people walking around with Visor Deluxes with todo items such as:
[ ]Look in trash can for food
[ ]Annoy pedestrians
[ ]Apply for food stamps

And daily schedule:
9am-11am Stand on Main St. and 5th with cardboard sign
12Noon Buy booze
1pm-4pm Take a nap in the park
5pm-7pm Back to the corner with cardboard sign
8pm-10pm Meeting with other bums in usual alley

While Handspring did start a small program to give Visors away, you did notice that the main point of this article was that they were giving *cash* to these non-profits, didn't you?

Hey, pretty funny but uninformed comments. - these Visors are probably going to the staff of these organizations and if trained, they would certainly benefit!

 Sigh

Nonprofits provide vital services. I wish they would consider our urban after school programs run by churches and other comm.unity groups. It's the kids who find the ise for the technology.

 Not funny

Hey IM Anonymous: Handspring is giving free Visors to the those who work for the charities, not the homeless! As one who has done volutreering for the homeless, your remarks were not funny.

 give to non-profit

Is this only for non-profit organisations? Or just for any company that helps people? A company could be helping people, get the visors for free and then sell them on ebay and donate the money! talk about fast cash!
