Updated: New Handspring Visors & modules
Friday September 14, 2001 - 1:55 AM EST - By James Hromadka

Handspring will release on Monday two new Visor models: the Visor Neo and Visor Pro, as well as a 16 MB Backup module and a Handspring-branded eyemodule2. Here are the details on the new Visors:

Visor Pro

16 MB of memory (finally!)
Rechargeable
4-bit grayscale (16 shades of gray)
Silver color
Blinking LED (Silent Alarm)
Fast Lookup feature (also found in Visor Edge)
33 MHz Dragonball VZ processor
$299

Visor Neo

New entry level model
8 MB of memory
Uses 2 AAA batteries
4-bit grayscale (16 shades of gray)
Available in Smoke, Red, and Blue (which pill do you take?)
Blinking LED (Silent Alarm)
Fast Lookup feature
33 MHz Dragonball VZ processor

As for the Springboard modules, the eyemodule2 is being branded by Handspring and sold for $199. The new 16 MB Backup module is $59.99. There are also other new accessories that will be introduced, including a belt holster for your modules (I hope there's a yellow one) and a Stylus 3-pack.

The new Visors are evolutionary in nature. The Visor Deluxe needed a bump of some kind, what with it turning two years old tomorrow, but it would have been nice to see a Prism update as well. I love my Memplug, but I would love to have a 16 MB Visor Prism without voiding my warrenty.
