Handspring is the company, Visor was the name of its range of handhelds that had as its main selling point teh Springboard expansion slot. The Visor range is more or less dead now, with only the Pro available new. The current core models are the Treo communicators which do not have a springboard slot. Personally I think Handspring have cut their own throat with this - The Treo is a leap ahead of other communicators but the feature set is still a whole heap below a Visor and a decent Mobile. If you guys are working on a springboard project - i would stop,. to be honest, unless you have a captive audience or a specific use in which case I would make sure I buy up enough Visors to equip my team before tehy vanish. andy M
