Handspring Inc was formed in 1998 when two of the developers of 3Com's Palm Pilot secured funding for their startup to develop handhelds based on the Palm Computing platform.

The company's first PDAs, the Visor and Visor Deluxe, shipped in Fall of 1999. The Springboard expansion slot was a key feature of the new products and a major development in the evolution of Palm-based handhelds as it allowed users to conveniently add new hardware and software. Visors were also the first handhelds to support synchronization via USB.

The Visor Platinum with 8 MB RAM was introduced in October 2000. The new model utilized the Motorola Dragonball 33 MHz processor, which made it the fastest Palm handheld available at the time. Handspring also introduced the Visor Prism (with a color creen) in 2000; and the Visor Edge (with a super-thin design) shipped in early 2001.

The Visor Pro and Visor Neo were intorduced in September 2001. The rechargeable Visor Pro, with its 16 MB RAM, silent LED alarm, and stylish silver body was aimed at professional users. Wheras the Neo was the new lower priced entry level model.

  • Palm Operating System ver. 3.5
  • 16 MB RAM
  • 33 MHz Motorola Dragonball VZ processsor

  • Expandable Springboard slot
  • Fast USB synchronizing for your PC or Macintosh, also Infrared.
  • Includes USB cradle, Palm Desktop software, link to Microsoft Outlook, AC adapter, metal stylus
