Glenayre announced today that its @ctiveLink module "will be available at thousands of retail and online distribution points throughout the (US)." From the press release:

The @ctiveLink module snaps seamlessly into the Springboard(TM) slot of the Handspring Visor Handheld computer to wirelessly enable the powerful personal information management (PIM) utilities of the handheld. The @ctiveLink provides Always @ctive(TM) constant connectivity to the ReFLEX(TM) network. Users have email, messaging features and Internet query capabilities for news, sports, stock market, weather, travel updates, bar coding and more. @ctiveLink is sold as a bundled unit with the Handspring Visor Deluxe 8MB handheld computer for a suggested manufacturer's price of $428. Through www.glenayre.net, users can access information on additional applications for the @ctiveLink wireless messaging module.

No word yet on when a non-bundled @ctiveLink will be available. I should be getting an @ctiveLink within the next few days for review.
