Handspring's new fast and colorful devices (continued)
Conclusion
Handspring's Visor Prism redefines the Palm device marketplace. With more and more Springboard modules coming to market, such as the InnoGear SixPak Combo and the VisorPhone, plus already-available modules like the eyemodule digital camera and OmniRemote universal remote control, not to mention the vast amount of third-party software available, the real question becomes, to borrow a question from Microsoft's own ads, "Can your pocket do that?" Microsoft's Pocket PC platform simply doesn't have the expandability and affordability that Handspring's Visor Prism provides.
