Could be. The palm also has a folding keyboard. One of the Visors can
eventually include a phone add-on; the Palm doesn't have that. The Visor was
started up by the same people who invented the Palm, I've been told, after
they sold it it to 3Com. It's funny 3Com didn't make them sign a
non-competitive agreement, no?
