Visors to be Sold at Wal-Mart

Handspring today announced that, starting later this month, Wal-Mart Stores will begin selling Visors, accessories, and select Springboards in 500 stores nationwide. Handspring's products will also be available on the Wal-Mart Web site. This announcement is part of Handspring's drive to increase its U.S. retail presence. Last month, the company announced that Visors would soon be available at Target stores.

Greg Woock, vice president of North American sales for Handspring, said, "As the handheld computing market continues to grow, relationships with global retail leaders like Wal-Mart will help extend Handspring's reach into the consumer market. Wal-Mart offers a unique geographic profile that puts Handspring where people want to buy handheld computers, both in-store and online and affords us the opportunity to expand into diverse markets where we have not yet established inroads."
