Re: palm pilot vs visor
On 12/26/99, Michael Perry addressed palm pilot vs visor: I am kind of following along with this and am wondering if people are using jpilot to link their visors? If they are palm compliant, will jpilot see these and provide true desktop-palmtop integration? I am using now a Casio E100 which is quite nice (except for the OS) and it has some nice speed and program enhancements which I enjoy like playing MP3's and voice recording. I haven't seen any definitive replies to this question, so I suppose the answer must be something like obviously, yes. If that's *not* the case, someone please say so for the sake of those with inquiring minds, like me. :-) For that matter, I'd like to know whether the Visor will work with any and all Debian palm-related packages. Their web site claims they don't support Linux, whatever that means. I doubt Palm Pilots do either, officially. And if anyone's used a Visor with Debian over USB, that would be real interesting to hear about.

hi all, I am planning to purchase a palm OS based organiser. I am eyeing on 3com's palm pilot IIIe and Handspring's Visor. I would eventually sync with linux. Which one is best supported. thanks. -gnana

RE: palm pilot vs visor
Dear gnana, I can't speak to the Linux support question, but from the standpoint of price for hardware, the Visor is significantly superior to the IIIx. The Visor is purportedly equivalent to the PalmVx with 8MB RAM and the latest screen enhancements. It also has the ability to accept program and hardware modules (although its not clear what is presently available in this medium). On the downside, compared to the Palm V the Visor lacks the rechargeable batteries and the sexy case. Priced at roughly $275 the Visor versus IIIx seems like a no brainer. The Visor does have something like a 4 to 6 week backorder from Handspring and I have yet to see it marketed elsewhere.

Re: palm pilot vs visor
Hi Steve, Thanx for replying. Well, in theory the Visor is completely Palm compatable. Are you looking at the cheap visor? yes. I am a beginner organiser. I am mainly looking for the software compatibility. I would connect the cradle to my serial port and use pilot-link software to sync data. Your suggestions are most welcome. -gnana

Visor is purportedly equivalent to the PalmVx with 8MB RAM and the latest screen enhancements. That is if he gets the expensive Visor. The base Visor comes with 2Mb just like the IIIe/Ve do. The Visor does have something like a 4 to 6 week backorder from Handspring and I have yet to see it marketed elsewhere. They are getting swamped with orders. It is a manufacturing problem. If they were marketed elsewhere the backlog would still be there. -- Steve C. Lamb | I'm your priest, I'm your shrink, I'm your ICQ: 5107343 | main connection to the switchboard of souls. ---+-
