Visor Prism
Speed
I then tried Dr. Mario on Liberty on both devices. The game is useless on a Visor Deluxe unless it is overclocked, but ran at an acceptable speed on the Prism. It seems that number-crunching is only marginally faster on the Prism, but functions like screen drawing are much faster. Battery Life Handspring says that the Visor Prism offers two weeks of "normal use" or six hours of continuous use with a full recharge taking 1.5-2 hours. I know that there is plenty of religious discussion on the pros and cons of a internal rechargeable battery, but I think it is the right thing to have in a color Visor. Because of the heavy usage I give my Visor when reviewing Springboard modules and software, I went through batteries in 2-3 weeks. Now I don't have that problem anymore. Hopefully Springboard modules will take the VisorPhone's lead and become rechargeable also. I found battery life to be sufficient. I only recharged the Prism
at night, and the meter only dropped by about 20%. The cradle that
the Prism uses has a jack on the USB connector for the power supply to
plug into. I liked this because it keeps the cable out of the way.
For those that travel, Handspring offers a Travel Charger ($34.99) that
will charge your Prism and Springboard modules that support in-handheld
charging like the VisorPhone. ![]() |
