	Handspring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Handspring first introduced the Visor Solo, which was fl and contained two megabytes of onboard memory.
		When Handspring released the Visor Prism, it was the first Palm OS handheld to have a 16-bit color display (65,536 colors); the current model (IIIc) produced by Palm only had an 8-bit color display (256 colors).
		Handspring stopped producing the Visor line, and replaced it with the Handspring Treo, a more "communication centric" line of handhelds, most of which were integrated with cellular phones and included built-in keyboards for enhanced e-mail and SMS functionality.

	USA Gymnastics Online: Technique: TECHNICAL VAULT: FRONT HANDSPRING
		The handspring vault is used as the technical vault in the USA Gymnastics J.O. Compulsory program for all levels.
		One of the important and critical technical aspects of the front handspring is the ability to utilize the power of full running speed and body rotation at the take-off without the concern of over rotation.
		Since the front handspring in tumbling is often used as a preceding tumbling skill (prior to a complex major skill), the main emphasis of the skill is creating an efficient and powerful body rotation rather than the height and the flight of the handspring itself.

	The Tech Report - Handspring's Visor Edge - Page 1
		Handspring’s first models included USB syncing interfaces and Springboard expansion modules, which were followed up with later models integrating high-color-depth screens and beefier hardware.
		Handspring's inclusion of an external LED in the Edge lets you set silent alarms rather than having incessant beeping remind you of upcoming tasks.
		A possible concern, however, is that while there are many Springboard modules available now, Handspring's recent announcement that they're going to focus on communication products (which presumably won't have a Springboard slot) rather than their Visor line of organizers makes the future of the expansion format uncertain.

	Pen Computing Magazine: Handspring Visor
		The company is Handspring, and the product is Visor, a Palm-size computer whose basic size, look, and operation are much like the Palm that came before it.
		According to Rob Haitani, Director of Marketing at Handspring, these buttons were used because they require less travel to actuate, and helped keep the thickness of the Visor the same as the Palms, despite the considerable tightening of space due to the inclusion of the Springboard slot.
		Handspring tells me they didn't go with Flash ROM because it has been seldom used on the Palm III models.

	Palm to acquire rival Handspring \| CNET News.com
		Handspring founders Jeff Hawkins--who invented the first Palm handheld--and Dubinsky established Palm in 1992 and were the top names at the company until they left in 1998 to start Handspring.
		The Handspring acquisition won't necessarily boost Palm's share of the PDA market or improve its near-term prospects against competitors such as Hewlett-Packard that use Microsoft's operating system software or others such as Sony that use the Palm OS, said analysts, who were generally favorable toward the deal.
		Handspring will be given a $10 million line of credit from Palm in order to continue its business while the deal closes.

	Handspring offers developers 15% discount \| The Register
		Handspring is borrowing Palm's tactics and offering a special discount on its high-end PDAs to its developer community, according to a email that dropped into The Register's Inbox this morning.
		Handspring's official line on its discount is that it's a "celebration" because there are now 50 Springboard plug-in modules on sale.
		Given what we hear about Handspring's refusal to allow resellers to discount prices here in the UK at the very least, we're not surprised the company is worried about canny developers buying shedloads of cheap Visors and selling them on.

	CNN - Internet World: Handspring grabs the spotlight - October 8, 1999
		NEW YORK (IDG) -- Judging from the number of third-party expansion products at the Handspring booth here, and the size of the crowd gawking at them, the direction in which handheld computing is headed may be summed up in one word: add-ons.
		Handspring announced its Visor handheld product family to the press three weeks ago, but the Internet World show held here this week was the first time the public got a chance to see it.
		The founders of Handspring previously worked at 3Com developing the original PalmPilot, and licensed the Palm technology to develop the Visor and its complementary Springboard technology.
