Updated: New Handspring Visors & modules
Handspring will release on Monday two new Visor models: the Visor Neo and Visor Pro, as well as a 16 MB Backup module and a Handspring-branded eyemodule2. Here are the details on the new Visors:
 Visor Pro- 16 MB of memory (finally!)
- Rechargeable
- 4-bit grayscale (16 shades of gray)
- Silver color
- Blinking LED (Silent Alarm)
- Fast Lookup feature (also found in Visor Edge)
- 33 MHz Dragonball VZ processor
- $299
Visor Neo- New entry level model
- 8 MB of memory
- Uses 2 AAA batteries
- 4-bit grayscale (16 shades of gray)
- Available in Smoke, Red, and Blue (which pill do you take?)
- Blinking LED (Silent Alarm)
- Fast Lookup feature
- 33 MHz Dragonball VZ processor
As for the Springboard modules, the eyemodule2 is being branded by Handspring and sold for $199. The new 16 MB Backup module is $59.99. There are also other new accessories that will be introduced, including a belt holster for your modules (I hope there's a yellow one) and a Stylus 3-pack.
The new Visors are evolutionary in nature. The Visor Deluxe needed a bump of some kind, what with it turning two years old tomorrow, but it would have been nice to see a Prism update as well. I love my Memplug, but I would love to have a 16 MB Visor Prism without voiding my warrenty.
