Visor Neo
neo- pref. 1 new; recent. 2 new and different; new and abnormalWhat is the Visor Neo? As the definition above indicates, the Visor Neo is a new version of the original Visor Deluxe. Sometimes the correlation between Handspring and Apple are scary. Apple introduces the iMac, then every once in a while gives it new colors and better hardware. In 1999, Handspring introduces the Visor, and now has given it new colors and better hardware. Coincidence? I think not. Physical Specifications The Visor Neo is essentially a Visor Pro-Lite. Since that is a poor oxymoron, Handspring had to give it a different name. The Neo has the standard Visor form factor with a more powerful 33 MHz Dragonball VZ processor, 4-bit (16 shades of gray) monochrome screen, and Palm OS 3.5.2H3. Instead of the bright translucent colors of the Visor Deluxe, the Visor Neo has more subdued colors that are not as easy to see through. The blue model that I reviewed was a very deep blue -- almost purple. Like the Visor Deluxe, the Visor Neo uses two AAA batteries for power. Because there is no LED needed for recharging, there is no silent alarm. A matching hard cover, clear (not translucent) cradle, and a metal stylus are also included in the package Software Features
