For Handspring Visor users, there has always been a tradeoff. Palm V enjoy. But those days have ended. Visor Edge, now you can have both. Anyone who's ever used some of the bulkier expansion modules, like Handspring's own Visorphone or GeoDiscovery 's Geode global positioning system insert, can tell you these items add considerable weight to the Visor.
Thickness is another issue.
Fitting a Visor clad in its leather case into a jacket pocket is already awkward, and forget about a shirt pocket, where the skinny Palm V fits comfortably. If you only use your expansion modules sparingly, it makes sense to have the entire Springboard package detachable. On future Visor models, this should become a standard feature, assuming it works as well as the company says it does. Another nice change is the addition of a rechargeable lithium ion battery, unless of course you're a company who makes conventional batteries. Handspring users have done their part to increase the number of AAA batteries being sold around the country.
