Handspring Visor Deluxe User manual

The Handspring Visor Deluxe is the
first expandable handheld computer
that lets you instantly turn an organiser
into a digital camera, music player, or
even a phone. In fact, with its unique
SpringboardTM expansion slot, you
can snap in a wide range of hardware
and software modules and turn your
Visor handheld into whatever you want
it to be. Best of all, it’s plug-and-play
so there are no drivers to load. Just
snap in a module and it works!
Based on the popular Palm OS®,
the Visor handheld was developed
by the same people who created the
original PalmPilot. So, in addition
to an address book, to do list, and
memo pad, there are new features
like an enhanced date book, advanced
calculator and a world clock to make
its organisational capabilities even
better. And, since it uses the Palm OS,
you can download thousands of existing
Palm-compatible applications or beam
information with other Palm users.
And if all that weren’t enough, its
USB connection makes synchronising
with your desktop computer really
fast—and really easy. Which means
you can quickly back up, update or
exchange information between your
Visor handheld and desktop computer
with the USB cradle and HotSync®
technology. You can even transfer
existing Palm organizer data to your
Visor handheld with just one touch.
The Visor Deluxe comes in 5 great
colours—ice, graphite, blue, orange,
and green—and there are lots of cool
accessories to choose from like stylish
cases, keyboards and colorful styli.
The Visor Family
Choose from three varieties:
Visor Deluxe, Visor and Visor Solo.
All come fully loaded with Palm OS
software, feature the Springboard
expansion slot and are fully compatible
with Palm-based applications.
The infinitely expandable
handheld computer with
the soul of an organiser.
