Product Description
Slip it in your pocket. Put it in your purse. You'll barely even notice that you're carrying it. But don't let the size of the Visor Edge deceive you. This is one powerful, rechargeable Palm OS organizer with an address book, date book and so much more. Plus, the detachable Springboard slot gives you infinite expansion possibilities. It is incredibly thin and infinitely expandable. That's the wonder of the Visor Edge handheld. And Handspring has the detachable Springboard slot to thank. Just slide it on, pop in a Springboard module and you're ready to go. So, when you want to listen to music, take a picture, or connect wirelessly, it's all just a snap away.Now you'll never have to deal with AAA batteries again. That's because the Visor Edge is rechargeable. It lasts for weeks on a single charge (based on normal usage, of course). And it recharges quickly - right in the cradle. So now you can synchronize and recharge simultaneously. One look is all it takes and everyone is flipping over the Visor Edge. And then you've just got to have it. All that metal (the real kind, not a plastic imitation), that thin physique, that cutting-edge design? they have even designed an amazingly cool flip cover that protects the screen without compromising size. And, in case you were wondering, Visor Edge is fast, too!

Amazon.com Product Description
The Handspring Visor Edge is a thin, lightweight Palm OS organizer that combines cutting-edge design with all the expansion capabilities you've come to expect in a Visor handheld. It's all metal--from the stylus to the protective flip cover--and features a rechargeable battery that charges in the included USB docking cradle.

In addition to such standard Palm OS applications as an address book, to-do list, and memo pad, Handspring adds extra features such as an enhanced datebook, advanced calculator, and a world clock. Plus, the Visor Edge has new usability features like Fast Lookup, silent alarms, wireless synchronization, address duplication, improved security, and enhanced navigation. And since it uses the Palm OS, you can download thousands of Palm-compatible applications and beam information to other Palm users.

Using its unique detachable Springboard expansion slot, you can add a wide variety of Springboard modules whenever you want--from digital cameras and MP3 players to wireless modems and modem connectors to cellular phones.

With a fast USB connection, synchronizing the Visor Edge handheld to your PC or Mac is simple and faster than a normal serial connection. (An optional serial cradle also is available.) HotSync technology ensures all your data is backed up to your desktop PC.

The Handspring Visor Edge comes with a metal stylus, metal flip cover, USB recharging cradle, AC power adapter, and detachable Springboard expansion slot. It also includes Palm Desktop software (for Windows and Macintosh) and a link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).

Important note to customers: Your Visor comes with a free USB cradle, but not all computers and operating system are USB compatible. If your computer uses Windows 95 or NT or Mac OS 8.0 or below, or if your computer is not equipped with USB ports, you'll need to purchase a serial recharging cradle to synchronize your computer with your new Visor.

What's in the box

  • Visor Edge
  • USB HotSync cradle
  • 8 MB RAM
  • Internal rechargeable lithium ion batteries
  • Matching metal flip cover
  • Weighted metal stylus
  • AC power adapter
  • Detachable Springboard expansion slot

5 out of 5 stars Still LOVE it....AFTER ALMOST 7 YEARS!!!!   November 24, 2007
Seriously, I have owned mine for at least 7 years....it might beven be closer to eight. It has never once crashed, lost data, slowed down....the battery is the orignal, the screen is still clear - even with almost 8 years of tapping and scratching - and it has alsways remained quick and speedy. The Visor Edge (mine was red) has brought sanity to my life without adding clunky programs and other gadgets. Plus, after nearly 8 years, the metal cover is still perfectly intact, except for one small scartch about 1/4 an inch long. Considering I am a very clumsy person and have dropped it numerous times, the machine is still almost new looking. The metal case has been amazing durable!!! If you can still find.......it is WORTH IT!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Better than an address book   January 8, 2005

The learning curve for this PDA is about as short as it gets. Many functions that are extremely useable for most students as well as business people. DataBase products available to create your own lists and functionality. Durable and Hotsyncs easily with all Windows products. Recharges in the cradle in a very short period of time and holds the charge exceptionally well compared to most color type screens. For the money and memory size this ones hard to beat!


5 out of 5 stars Almost 3 years latter...   July 2, 2004

Practical, portable, durable, expandable, and it looks good.

Practical - The Visor Edge ("VE") uses Palm software. Unlike Windows CE and the like, its quick and easy to jot down biz information and to retrieve it.

Portable - Check out the specs. This is the thinnest and lightest PDA around.

Durable - Metal case with metal flip cover. My VE has been in backpacks, back pockets, and in cargo pants for almost 3 years and it's still going strong.

Expandable - A plethora of useful and fun applications are developed for the Palm platform.

It looks good - My VE is brushed silver: sleek with a futuristic feel.

When someone manages to fit a color PDA into a VE shell, I'll consider upgrading.


5 out of 5 stars Elegant and reliable   June 20, 2004

I've had the Visor Edge (in metallic blue) for almost two years and have had no problems with it at all. This is my first PDA, and I've been tempted to move to a model with color and additional memory. The unreliability of so many Palm products has discouraged me.
I use my Palm for storing addresses and for the calendar. I also use it for recording client notes from my sessions.
The battery life is excellent, and hot-synching and charging from the cradle couldn't be simpler.
This is a thin unit that easily fits into backpack or purse.
Backlighting is very helpful in dim-light situations.
If you find one of these new or refurbished (which mine was), and if you don't need a lot of bells and whistles in your PDA, I couldn't recommend this more highly.
