On the other hand, if Treo has good sales, then -maybe yes or maybe not- they launch it.

RE: New Visor
I'm sure Handspring has one or more prototypes of a new color Visor out there, but that doesn't make them "about to launch" anything. If all you are saying is that Handspring has a prototype of a possible new Visor and that they're thinking about releasing it, I'll tell you that is no news at all. Every company out there has prototypes of cool new devices that never make it to market.

RE: New Visor
I want color! I bought one of the first Visor Edges'. I prefered the size because I travel extensively. But I have always wanted color and the size was tool large. I am longingly looking at the new Clie (even with all its problems), but come on, this would be my 4th PDA and although the PDA's are nice, it always makes me feel ripped-off to have to re-buy all the cords, styli, cases, hot syncers, et'al. Why not release a color Edge that is compatable with all the peripherals. Offer old Edge users a trade-in (Visor has used this ploy in the past). This would also help to make Handspring sound more credible when they say they aren't going to totaly abandon the handheld market
TFT does not make much sense without HiRes
But it's sad that they moved only half a step since they're not putting HiRes on it.

Our source tell us that the screen is very impresed, much better than m505 or Clie.
Also I think that maybe this new model has HiRe screen.
I hope have photos very soon.

Handspring should be well aware even a conventional Hires screen won't be able to beat T615. If they decide to launch something, they must have figured out a winning formula.

RE: TFT does not make much sense without HiRes
Since I've been a low-res user since Palm Personal, I didn't realize how much better hi-res was until I used my brother as a guinea pig and told him to buy the CLIÉ 610C. I was playing around with it for a few days and I liked the higher resolution it a lot.
Is there a significant drawback in battery drainage when you move to higher resolution? Or maybe any other issues that majority of people may not know about?
Personally, I'm glad that many of the apps I frequently use support hi-res, such as DocsToGo and DateBk4. That way, when I eventually move to hi-res, the experience will be even more enhanced. Maybe more companies should think about doing the same so that it will drive Palm OS licensed PDA companies forward and think about just forgoing 160x160 altogether. In any case, my personal wish is for thinkingbytes to release a hi-res version of thinkDB when I finally do make that move. :)
Well, if this rumor turns out to be true, this is great news from Handspring. And Palm should take note, as well as others. Is there anyone out there that personally likes low-res over hi-res? If so, I'm very curious as to why you feel this way.

- ultra laser beamer (can beam 15 people to death in sight)
- sonic boom (turn the speaker volumn to loud and *BOOM*)
- flash bomb (have your played CS before?)
In addition, it can also be used as a toilet paper in case you went out of it.

RE: TFT does not make much sense without HiRes
My source(my dog Rocky) also said that the model will be powered by a Hydrogen Fuel cell...
Handspring's rate of innovation is truely unsurpassed!
RE: TFT does not make much sense without HiRes
i only have a busted palm. i guess i'll just wait for the visor edge prism and then get the springboard.
any idea when they'll come out with a MS or SD power crystal module?
btw, you won't believe what came out of [i]my[/i] dog's butt when i was walking it today. it was an inside letter for handspring execs stating they'll be considering a merger with sony, palm, handera, and [b]handmedia[/b]!
btw, i was being sarcastic!

New Visor
If they release this product, I'll likely buy it as soon as I try it out at the local computer store. I use a Prism now and am considering a 16MB upgrade for it. But I'm still stuck with the lousy screen that I can't see outdoors.
I'll hold out. Plus, I have so many springboard modules it doesn't make sense for me to jump the VisorShip anytime soon... I'd miss my VisorPhone and won't go back to a non-PalmOS phone.
Go Handspring! Release this baby soon!!!!!
