About nine months ago I decided I needed a PDA. Well I had two options: A palm or a visor... I wasn't going to consider the other makes from HP, Compaq, Sony etc because they were just too power hungry. I decided to buy the Handsprung Visor over the Palm because it had an expansion slot (The expansion modules never seemed to take off, so that wont be a serious consideration today) and all the advantages of the palm for just about £20 more. Well, since I bought it it has been pretty useful. I have all my addresses, appointments, expenses, and other useful notes and memos on this PDA. Now I never forget birthdays of friends or family!!

Although getting on a bit now, the Visor Deluxe still stands out as being a great PDA. It is small enough to carry around in a pocket, stylish enough to be seen using and comes with the added bonus of using the Palm OS. I have a number of uses. I store names and addresses, I write e-mails (more later..) and most recently, connect up to Avantgo and download all the days news to read on the train on the way to work...beats fiddling about with papers! On the downside, I think that the battery life could be better, annoyingly, it uses batteries even when turned off! Another annoyance is trying to connect to my mobile phone (Nokia 6210) using the ...  Read the complete review

Which PDA to buy? An agonising choice. Also not, I’m sorry to say, a choice I’m going to be able to help you with very much. Like most people, I’ve just got one PDA, and until I dig up the pot of gold I wouldn’t expect to buy any more for quite a while.

I’ll also reveal the big reason not to buy one. I won’t however, be giving you all the technical specs and features, you can read several other excellent opinions on this subject for that. ...  Read the complete review

Key Features: 8Mb memory, Springboard, five colours, USB docking cradle for PC or Mac, Palm OS 3.1, Monochrome reverse-lit screen, 2xAAA batteries giving two weeks typical use The Palm OS makes it's way into another pair of hands Transformers fascinated me as a kid. You started out with a little toy car, then with a few canny twists and turns, it suddenly took on the appearance of an alien dispenser of death and destruction. And with a whole group of Transformers, you could slot them all together to create multi-car/robot pile-ups. I no longer need such childish things, though, mainly because these days I've got the grown-up version: the ...  Read the complete review

I've come across a lot of Handhelds and PDA's in my time, but I have to say, this is one of the best value-for-money handheld computers that I have ever seen. It is worth every single penny, with the Springboard Expansion Slot, the built-in microphone and 8MB of memory. This is quite simply, one of the best PDA's in the world. And at only £199.99, it really is worth the money. Palm's competitors, M100 and the M105 match no contest for Handspring Deluxe Delight. Whilst the big companies, such as, Casio and Compaq are now using colour screens, which are cool, but they add another £150 to the price, and this is out of most people's price-range. ...  Read the complete review
