Comments on: Visor Edge Discontinued by Handspring

No. No. No. It's never been a matter of "we". What some individuals are saying is "_I_ don't need color". You're not in a position to dictate whether they do or not, but I think it's obvious that if color screen units continue to fall in price, more and more b/w owners will switch when they buy their next pda.

and this thread is a clear explanation why kids should be in school through the whole summer.

Five monkeys working in a garage with spare parts from various Palm Vs could put together a far more impressive device than the Treo 90. It's a piece of sh**. Handspring is dead soon.

but it turns out customer isn't that stupid. Were the Edge come out with SD slot, and priced at $299 in the beginning, they might sells like hot cake. But instead they rather sells it at $499 and wait until the technology is as stale as yesterday donuts and wonders why even at $250 nobody is buying.

well DOH.....

Just because a store is "sold out" of the Edge DOES NOT mean that it sold well. If it's a large retailer like CompUSA, they can ship leftovers to the warehouse, from where they will then be auctioned off to a discounter, probably on the internet.

Face it, "BUDD," the Edge was a loser. You're perfectly entitled to like it, and I hope you're able to accumulate a hundred of these things. But IN THE MARKET, it simply couldn't cut it.

Are tuna cans rectangular where you live?

This was sunk from the beginning.

Personally, I think the Edge has the best design of any PDA I've ever seen. It just has a few fatal flaws: no UC, no SD slot, and no colour screen. But aside from that, it's beautiful.

First, an Edge II with 16 megs of ram and an SD slot. Color would be fabulous, of course, but let's not forget that this is Handspring. OS 4 would be, due to SD, necessary and appreciated all around.

Then follow that up with a Prism II/Prism Neo and also have 16 megs of ram, but up the battery life as much as possible. OS 4 would again be nice, but not a necessity. Keep the springboard slot as a last gasp for diehards.

Finally, introduce the Treo 90 as the "other" color unit, not as the ONLY one. It is in no way a replacement for the Prism with its big, bright, beautiful screen. I've heard more people b***h and moan about the Treo 90's screen in the few weeks it's been out than I ever heard anyone moan in almost 2 years' time about the brick-size formfactor of the Prism.

Oh well, too late to change any of this...
