Handspring today announced the beginning of Module Madness, a promotion featuring a 20 percent instant rebate on 22 different Springboard modules and accessories. More details about Module Madness can be found at Handspring.com. The Madness lasts until April 11, 2002.

"Our first Module Madness promotion took place last year and was a success for Handspring and our developers," said Karen Sipprell, vice president of corporate marketing at Handspring. "A wide variety of new Springboard modules and accessories have shipped since then, and we wanted to give our large installed base of Visor owners the opportunity to purchase more modules at a great price."

Twenty-two Springboard modules and accessories are included in the Module Madness promotion. While the prices are mostly under $100, there are a few more modules that are starting to creep down, and under $50!
