Handspring Visor Pro -
The elegant and powerful Handspring Visor Pro gives you all the memory you need for most software and hardware applications, plus the flexibility of Handspring's celebrated Springboard expansion slot. Work on or store documents, spreadsheets, and price lists with your Visor Pro. The stylish silver design and state-of-the-art features make it the perfect accessory for any executive.
The Handspring Visor Pro comes with 16 MB of memory, more than enough to store thousands of e-mails, addresses, and memos--more than any other Palm OS-based handheld currently available. A superfast 33 MHz Motorola Dragonball VZ processor launches the Visor Pro to the top of the list in handheld computing power. Enter data in seconds with Handspring's easy-to-use address book, to-do list, memo pad, date book, advanced calculator, and world clock applications.
The Handspring Visor Pro runs the popular Palm operating system, so it is fully compatible with thousands of Palm OS applications. Plus, Handspring has added features to the Palm OS, like an advanced datebook, calculator, world clock, and built-in floating-point math support. Enter memos and notes into your Visor Pro with the easy-to-use Graffiti handwriting software.
Expand the capabilities of the Visor Pro with the built-in expansion slot, which lets you turn your handheld into an MP3 player, pager, modem, and GPS receiver. Just slide an optional hardware or software Springboard module into the slot on the back, and your Visor Pro takes on a new function with no configuration or additional software required.
The Pro's infrared port lets you beam data to other handhelds, and it also has a built-in microphone for use with digital voice recorder modules.
With the Visor Pro's speedy USB connection, synchronizing data with your desktop has never been easier. Just place your Pro into the included USB cradle and exchange data with the touch of a button. The Visor Pro features an internal rechargeable lithium ion battery that quickly recharges in the cradle.
The Handspring Visor Pro comes with a USB HotSync cradle, stylus, snap cover, desktop synchronization software for Windows and Mac, software link for synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only), AC power adapter for recharging the internal battery, and a one-year warranty. E-mail support is included for Microsoft Outlook, Lotus cc:Mail, and Qualcomm Eudora.
