The infinitel

handheld computer with

The Handspring Visor, the first

infinitely expandable handheld

computer, is now even faster. In

fact, the Visor Platinum is 50% faster

than the Visor Deluxe. The Visor

Platinum gives you enhanced power,

speed and performance so you can

access all your data and view crisp

grayscale graphics without the wait.

And, like all Visor handheld computers,

it comes with the unique Springboard

expansion slot, so you can instantly

snap in a digital camera, wireless modem

or even a phone. Best of all, it’s plug-

and-play so there are no drivers to load.

Just snap in a module and it works!

Based on the latest version of

the popular Palm OS®, the Visor

Platinum was developed by the

same people who created the original

PalmPilot. Now, in addition to an

address book, to do list, and memo pad,

there are new features like an enhanced

date book, advanced calculator and

a world clock to make its organisational

capabilities even better. Plus, it has

new usability features like wireless

y expandable

amazing speed.

synchronisation, handy address

duplication, improved security, and

enhanced navigation. And, since it

uses the Palm OS, you can download

thousands of existing Palm-compatible

applications or beam information

with other Palm users.

And if all that weren’t enough, its

USB connection makes synchronising

with your desktop computer really

fast—and really easy. Which means

you can quickly back up, update or

exchange information between your

Visor Platinum handheld and desktop

computer with the USB cradle and

HotSync®technology. You can even

transfer existing Palm organizer

data to your Visor Platinum with

just one touch.

True to its name, the Visor Platinum

comes in a shiny new platinum

metallic color—and there are lots

of cool accessories to choose from

like stylish cases, keyboards and

colorful styli.
