Product Description
Slip it in your pocket. Put it in your purse. You'll barely even notice that you're carrying it. But don't let the size of the Visor Edge deceive you. This is one powerful, rechargeable Palm OS organizer with an address book, date book and so much more. Plus, the detachable Springboard slot gives you infinite expansion possibilities. It is incredibly thin and infinitely expandable. That's the wonder of the Visor Edge handheld. And Handspring has the detachable Springboard slot to thank. Just slide it on, pop in a Springboard module and you're ready to go. So, when you want to listen to music, take a picture, or connect wirelessly, it's all just a snap away.Now you'll never have to deal with AAA batteries again. That's because the Visor Edge is rechargeable. It lasts for weeks on a single charge (based on normal usage, of course). And it recharges quickly - right in the cradle. So now you can synchronize and recharge simultaneously. One look is all it takes and everyone is flipping over the Visor Edge. And then you've just got to have it. All that metal (the real kind, not a plastic imitation), that thin physique, that cutting-edge design? they have even designed an amazingly cool flip cover that protects the screen without compromising size. And, in case you were wondering, Visor Edge is fast, too!
Amazon.com Product Description
The Handspring Visor Edge is a thin, lightweight Palm OS organizer that combines cutting-edge design with all the expansion capabilities you've come to expect in a Visor handheld. It's all metal--from the stylus to the protective flip cover--and features a rechargeable battery that charges in the included USB docking cradle.
In addition to such standard Palm OS applications as an address book, to-do list, and memo pad, Handspring adds extra features such as an enhanced datebook, advanced calculator, and a world clock. Plus, the Visor Edge has new usability features like Fast Lookup, silent alarms, wireless synchronization, address duplication, improved security, and enhanced navigation. And since it uses the Palm OS, you can download thousands of Palm-compatible applications and beam information to other Palm users.
Using its unique detachable Springboard expansion slot, you can add a wide variety of Springboard modules whenever you want--from digital cameras and MP3 players to wireless modems and modem connectors to cellular phones.
With a fast USB connection, synchronizing the Visor Edge handheld to your PC or Mac is simple and faster than a normal serial connection. (An optional serial cradle also is available.) HotSync technology ensures all your data is backed up to your desktop PC.
The Handspring Visor Edge comes with a metal stylus, metal flip cover, USB recharging cradle, AC power adapter, and detachable Springboard expansion slot. It also includes Palm Desktop software (for Windows and Macintosh) and a link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).
Important note to customers: Your Visor comes with a free USB cradle, but not all computers and operating system are USB compatible. If your computer uses Windows 95 or NT or Mac OS 8.0 or below, or if your computer is not equipped with USB ports, you'll need to purchase a serial recharging cradle to synchronize your computer with your new Visor.

HandspringEdge.......2007-05-31
Still an excellent product. Reconditioned product as good as new. Sellar has been very responsive to information requests.
Best Thing In The World I've had mine for 4 years.......2006-02-02
Had it for 4 years and dropped it countless times never broke I've throne it don't ask me why (a drunk Story) and it has never given me errors or anything if you want A NICE PDA OR I SHOULD SAY AUSOME, GREAT, OR EVEN THE BEST pda i suggest palm visor edge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better than an address book.......2005-01-08
The learning curve for this PDA is about as short as it gets. Many functions that are extremely useable for most students as well as business people. DataBase products available to create your own lists and functionality. Durable and Hotsyncs easily with all Windows products. Recharges in the cradle in a very short period of time and holds the charge exceptionally well compared to most color type screens. For the money and memory size this ones hard to beat!
Almost 3 years latter..........2004-07-02
Practical, portable, durable, expandable, and it looks good.
Practical - The Visor Edge ("VE") uses Palm software. Unlike Windows CE and the like, its quick and easy to jot down biz information and to retrieve it.
Portable - Check out the specs. This is the thinnest and lightest PDA around.
Durable - Metal case with metal flip cover. My VE has been in backpacks, back pockets, and in cargo pants for almost 3 years and it's still going strong.
Expandable - A plethora of useful and fun applications are developed for the Palm platform.
It looks good - My VE is brushed silver: sleek with a futuristic feel.
When someone manages to fit a color PDA into a VE shell, I'll consider upgrading.
Elegant and reliable.......2004-06-20
I've had the Visor Edge (in metallic blue) for almost two years and have had no problems with it at all. This is my first PDA, and I've been tempted to move to a model with color and additional memory. The unreliability of so many Palm products has discouraged me.
I use my Palm for storing addresses and for the calendar. I also use it for recording client notes from my sessions.
The battery life is excellent, and hot-synching and charging from the cradle couldn't be simpler.
This is a thin unit that easily fits into backpack or purse.
Backlighting is very helpful in dim-light situations.
If you find one of these new or refurbished (which mine was), and if you don't need a lot of bells and whistles in your PDA, I couldn't recommend this more highly.

Amazon.com Review
The Handspring Visor Edge proves what Palm V owners have known for some time: bulk is bad. Although we used to be overjoyed at the prospect of using any handheld organizer that was smaller than an attaché case, the Visor Edge has completely spoiled us on the superiority of slimness.
At 0.44 inches thick and weighing only 4.8 ounces, the Edge feels more like a futuristic data pad (which it should) than a deck of cards containing electrical circuitry. It's far more comfortable to slide into a purse or shirt pocket, and its anodized aluminum case is likely to withstand more bumps and jostles than earlier plastic cases. Further, its superior aluminum cover is the best available screen protector we've seen that ships with a PDA. Its hinge is spring loaded so that it snaps into place at a 145-degree angle. You can push it back farther, to about a 260-degree angle, but unfortunately you can't rest it flat against the back of the Visor. Our only other minor complaint is that it takes a bit of practice to quickly release the cover's tab from the bottom of the device.
Another joy is the weighted metal stylus that comes with the Visor Edge. Earlier styluses were plastic afterthoughts that cheapened the experience of using a Visor. This one is the exact opposite: the barrel is slightly swollen where you rest your fingers, giving the stylus more heft that translates into a better feel for writing. The stylus attaches onto the outside of the Edge's edge by clipping a retractable post into a small groove at the top; the writing tip sits snugly in a holder at the bottom. Releasing the stylus is a matter of pushing a rocker switch to disengage the latch at the top--a motion that will take some practice. But although the stylus is clipped to the side of the Edge, it's remarkably sturdy and never came close to falling out during our testing.
Of course, slimness isn't the Edge's only advantage, even if it's the most notable. The Visor Edge packs in features common to Handspring's line of handhelds: it comes with 8 MB of memory, runs the Palm OS (version 3.5.2H, which unfortunately can't be upgraded due to the type of memory it uses), has a crisp gray scale screen, and includes Handspring-only software like Date Book+, City Time, and an advanced Calculator application. The Edge runs on an internal battery that's quickly recharged when you put it into the included docking cradle (which is a minimalist piece of art by itself).
A new software addition is Fast Lookup, a slick feat of engineering within the Address Book application. Press the Visor's scroll-up button to enter Fast Lookup mode, then use the other application buttons to tap out the name you're looking for. For example, the Date Book button represents letters A-L of a person's last name, while the Address Book button counts for letters M-Z. After a few presses, the name you want appears in the contact list. It's also worth noting that the Edge can perform a HotSync operation out of the box via infrared to your computer (earlier Visors couldn't).
The most noteworthy Visor feature is the Springboard expansion slot, which on the Edge turns out to be both an advantage and a detractor. To achieve the Edge's thin profile, the Springboard slot is no longer a part of the handheld itself. To add Springboard functionality, you must connect a rather bulky adapter onto the back of the Visor Edge, then slide Springboard modules into the adapter. On the plus side, you can use any Springboard module you like just as you would with any other Visor; the downside is that it ruins the thinness factor of the Edge.
However, if you think you'll use Springboard modules only occasionally and want the advantages of a slim and lightweight handheld organizer, you'll want to head for the Edge. --Jeff Carlson
Pros:
- Thin and light
- Best screen protection on any handheld
- New Fast Lookup feature in Address Book
- Rechargeable battery
Cons:
- Springboard adapter ruins thinness advantage
- Sometimes hard to release stylus and cover
- Operating system not upgradable

Handspring's original HotSync for the Visor Edge.......2006-12-12
Custom-fit to the slim Visor Edge, this cradle does it all. USB HotSync is fast and the drivers are built into Palm Desktop. A separate AC power supply plugs into a wall socket and the cradle's USB connector for recharging the PDA on the cradle. Made of metal, the cradle is sturdy and matches the style of the Edge. Warning to owners of other Handsprings: this cradle fits the Edge only, and can't be used to sync other Visor or Treo models. This is what shipped with Handspring's kit. If you have that, you shouldn't be disappointed.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!.......2005-05-10
1) The Visor doesn't even fit in the cradle.
2) It isn't even a full cradle. There's no "back support," so even if you could get it to fit, it would fall over and fall out.
3) My computer didn't even recognize it as a USB device.
Product Description
Targus introduces its Stowaway portable handspring visor edge keyboard that allows you to quickly and comfortably enter text into your handheld, without having to carry around a full-size keyboard. When in use, the Stowaway folds out into a full size keyboard, so you can type detailed notes, answer emails lightening fast, get more work done and save more time in crucial situations. And when you're all done, go ahead and put it in your pocket or purse. The Stowaway folds instantly to about the size of your Visor Edge. It's the essential add-on for any Visor Edge user, enabling your handheld to live up to its full potential - on the road, at home or away from the office.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Targus Stowaway portable keyboard for Handspring Visor Edge enables you to quickly and comfortably enter text into your handheld without having to carry around a full-size desktop keyboard. The Stowaway keyboard is a full-size keyboard when open but folds instantly to about the size of your Visor Edge. This portable keyboard has the same key spacing as a standard desktop keyboard so it's comfortable to use. Plus, at only 7.9 ounces it won't weigh you down.
This Stowaway keyboard is compatible with Handspring Visor Edge handhelds running Palm OS v3.1 or later. It is not compatible with other Handspring Visor handhelds or the Handspring Treo series. (See the Stowaway portable keyboard for other Visor models.)
Installation of the Keyboard application onto your Handspring Visor Edge is easily accomplished during a typical HotSync. (To prepare the app for HotSync, simply add it to Install Tool on Windows, or Install Handheld Files in the Mac HotSync Manager.) Because the keyboard only needs power while it is actually being used, the effect on the overall battery life of your Visor Edge will be minimal.
To operate the keyboard with your handheld, click the Stowaway keyboard open from its folded position, lay it flat, and slide the keyboard parts together (it's separated into thirds for folding). Then, simply attach your handheld and start typing in a text-based program.
You can do virtually all your work without taking your fingers off the keyboard with the Stowaway. The four custom keys on the right side of the keyboard (Date Book, Address, To Do List, and Memo Pad) are preprogrammed shortcut keys to activate certain applications, but they can be customized with the Keyboard application.
Placing the keyboard on a firm, flat surface offers the best results, because of the folding design. However, you can use it on your lap as long as the keyboard is supported by a magazine or book across its open expanse. --Agen G.N. Schmitz
Customer Reviews:
It works!.......2007-05-12
This is a handsomely designed keyboard for users on the go, and it's ideal for Palm fans hoping to avod the frustration of tapping or drawing one letter at a time. It's portable, works quickly, lasts for a long time with batteries, and folds into an appealingly small package. This adds a new level of functionality to your Palm, and it's doubtful that most users will go too far without it.
Of course, you'll need a flat surface to make this work, and you should beware of the dizzying variety of different keyboards, each with their own compatibiilities (or lack thereof). I don't "Palm" without it.
An excellent keyboard.......2005-02-14
Nice solid construction. Clever way of folding up compactly so that it's about the same size as my Visor Edge. I have found two minor problems with using it.
Until you get used to it, attaching my PDA to the keyboard is tricky. This is probably due the way Handspring designed the connector and not the fault of Targus.
The other problem I have is most of the time when I connect the keyboard to my PDA the keyboard won't work unless I detach it, disable the keyboard in the Keyboard program, reattach the keyboard, reattach the keyboard, and then reenable the keyboard software.
With some experimentation I found that if I just disable the keyboard software before detaching the keyboard, I didn't have this problem. The drawback is remembering to disable before detachment, and enabling after attachment.
Aside from these two minor problems, I still regard this as an excellent product.
Visor Edge.......2003-02-01
I transitioned from a Franklin Planner to a Visor Edge PDA.
I got my keyboard yesterday, and installed the software for the keyboard as soon as I got into the office, and took it to my first meeting of the day. One of my co-workers has the same Visor Edge that I have, and was floored when he saw how easy it was to use the keyboard. He travels alot more than I do, and lugs a laptop around. He is buying one for himself ASAP.
I was able to take more detailed notes faster than I usually do, and was able to synch and share my notes via e-mail.
If you have ever considered getting a keyboard like this for your PDA, I wouldn't hesitate a moment longer.

Easy to lose...........2003-01-23
The reason I purchased the 2pac stylus is that, when I pulled out the PDA out or putting it back in my pocket it fell of because the button is so easily released with the slightest pressure. I didn't even know until it was too late.... so Watch out how you hold you PDA when you pull it out or put it back!!!!
Taz
awkward shape detracts from function.......2002-03-23
I just recently purchased a visor edge, and was at first pleased with it's metal stylus. But I'm afraid this is a case where function was sacrificed for style. The flattened shape makes it very awkward to get back on the visor since it forces you to hold it by its thinnest edges. A standard round stylus would have made much more sense. On the plus side, it has a pleasant heft and nice writing tip.

THE BOMB!!!!.......2001-12-18
Everyone should be lucky enough to own this PDA. Keeps my (...) straight!!!
If you don't use backlit a lot, this is it........2001-12-07
If you use handheld just to manage database like I do, this product is a good choice. The price is reasonable, and the silver case is impressive. 8M is quite enough as long as I don't install a big dictionary. Still, here are some concerns I want to share with you:
*the battery only lasts for two weeks instead of two months stated by Handspring (I am not a heavy user!). I got to get rechargeable AAA otherwise the bill for battery is unthinkable.
*the screen got scratch easily. I only use it for two weeks and several scratches are found. I had to get WriteRight sticker to protect it.
*the backlight doesn't function as good as Palm M500 series. If you need to use backlight function alot, don't take this one.
Overall, it's a good product with reasonable price.

First, I have experience with WinCE since I owned a Philips unit (the one before the Nino came out). But let's face it folks: you don't use a PDA to replace your PC -- you use it as a supplement that works hand in hand with it. I never once used the built in keyboard in anykind of serious fashion on that device.
My excuse for buying the Visor Platinum was a program called DietLog for PalmOS (not available on WinCE). My dietician recommended it (I'm trying to lower my HDL cholesterol level -- that program on a PalmOS device makes it kinda fun I guess).
Other reasons for buying a PDA: if your hard drive has ever crashed, you know how frustrating it is having to cull all your personal contact info. again and typing it in. But with it all backed up on your PalmOS device, you can simply reinstall the Palm HotSync software, sync the device and there is all your old info!
Travel alarm clock: I use an application that turns the Visor into an alarm clock (also, the DateBook+ app can function like this).
Offline web browsing: I use AvantGo's offline web browser to take web sites with me to read on the go.
Vindigo also makes a cool web-like application to find restraunts, movies, and shoppping places wherever you are (it downloads the latest info from its servers).
These are just a few cool and useful applications of the Handspring Visor Platinum. I know the extra memory will come in handy (I learned this when I had a WinCE device -- even if you don't think you'll need the extra memory, you'll be glad you got it later).
Also, if you want a wireless connection and you own a cell phone with a wireless web capability, you can buy a cord that attached your cell phone to the Visor so the cell phone acts like a modem for the Visor. These connecting cords are available from several online retailers(...). I've not tried this yet, but it's a cheaper alternative to buying the expensive module that allows wireless access.
Overall, I'm happy with the unit and agree with what most reviewers have posted here. However, I have two concerns/complaints:
1) the glittery silver finish looks painted on to me, so it'll probably start to wear off after two years of use (though conventional wisdom is that if you get 3 or more years out of a PDA, you got your money's worth).
2) the backlight is a joke -- you can't really use this in the dark.
I still recommend the product. The PalmOS is just more intuitive than WinCE.
Handspring Visor Platinum (VPL) review.......2001-11-06
As a long-time user of PDA's (circa 1989), I must admit that the VPL, next to the Newton MessagePad, is quite affordable and versatile. And with the inclusion of the VisorPhone, I now carry only one device. Comparing the VPL to a Pocket PC is similar to comparing a Honda with a Lexus. Sure, both will perform the same function of getting from A to B, and the Lexus will carry one in style, but the Honda is more practical and less expensive to own and maintain. That's how I view the VPL. For what I want to do, the VPL does it, plain and simple. Heck, my life is in it: checkbook (Accounts & Loans), budget (QuikBudget), database (ThinkDB), eBooks and newspapers (PalmReader and AvantGo), daily notes (DayNotez), life organizer (LifeBalance and DateBk4), outlining thoughts (ShadowPlan), my office (QuickOffice), email and casual web browsing. While the VPL can do all this, not everyone would want to necessarily. The fact is, it's affordable and versatile. I can't wait for the next PDA incarnation!
