Handspring Visor Visor Neo User manual

neo
The Handspring Visor Neo combines amazing versatility and value in one infinitely
expandable handheld computer. Running the popular Palm OS, it will help you keep
track of your life – just like an organiser – while staying well within your budget. But
the Visor Neo is more than just an organiser. With the unique Springboard™
expansion slot, you can turn your Visor Neo into whatever you want it to be in no
time. With no drivers to load, you can just plug-and-play – simply snap in a module and
it’s a digital camera, a modem, a phone and more besides!
Based on the popular Palm OS®, the Visor Neo has everything you need to
organise your busy life: address book, enhanced date book, to do list, memo pad,
advanced calculator and world clock. And there are thousands of other Palm-compatible
applications available to download, so you can also enjoy games, guides and books on
your Visor Neo. What’s more, you can even beam information and programs to other
Palm users.
As if all that weren’t enough, the USB connection makes synchronising with your
desktop computer really fast – and really easy. Using the USB cradle and HotSync®
technology, you can back up, update or exchange information between your Visor Neo
and desktop computer in seconds. You can even transfer existing Palm organiser data to
your Visor Neo with just one touch.
There are plenty of great accessories available for your cool, Smoke-coloured Visor
Neo, such as custom cases, keyboards and styli. So, if you’re still trying to manage your
life with a paper address book, calendar, and sticky notes, it’s time to switch to the Visor
Neo. With all the organising essentials you need supplied as standard, it can be
expanded in an instant and is incredibly easy to use. Last but by no means least, it’s
surprisingly affordable.
