Well, lets take a quick look at Handspring.
1) I believe there is a device called a Visor Prism...Well, I'll be a
monkey's uncle, they DO have color.
2) They have the "VisorPhone"...Well again, I'm still a monkey's uncle,
they have a cell-phone.
3) Hmm...If I combine 1 & 2 guess what I have??? I have a color Palm Cell
Phone.
4) InnoGear makes the MiniJam MP3 player. I would say MP3s tend to qualify
as "sound".
5) Xircom makes the Springport Ethernet Module. This gives any Visor the
full function of a Wireless 802.11b network connection. Does this fit your
definition of Wireless?
6) Storage devices are abundant for Visors. These tend to be "file
oriented" for those users that cannot get out of the "File" world.
Michael, I'm only scratching the surface of one take-off of Palm. You might
want to do a little more research before blabbing bad about Palm in a Palm
Developer's Forum!
