-- Is the display better than the Palm? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=38)

Handspring should do well to address
what most Palm users carp about their devices,namely the lousy display.
Could anybody confirm how Visor has improved
on this?

Just spoke with a sales rep during my purchase and she told me that the display is the same as the one in the Palm V. No improvement.

Oh well,, at least the display
is not as bad as that of the Palm III...

Of course, the Palm V display is pretty darned nice, for monochrome. It does 16 shades of grey and is MUCH sharper than the original Pilot LCD. I upgraded to a Palm IIIx just for the screen.

I've used a Compaq Aero WinCE handheld with a color screen. It had its niceties (cool to be able to pop in the memory card from my digital camera and {slowly} view JPGs), but the color wasn't worth the added weight and bulk and the short battery life.

I just got a Palm IIIx and the screen quality had a lot to do with my decision. Color would be nice but what I'd hate is short battery life. I know folks with Color CE devices really fly through batteries. Maybe Color with LIon batteries would be nice but I don't think I could afford one...

I am a memeber of the San Francisco Palm User Group, and we just had our meeting on Thurs. Handspring sent us an actual unit to drool on,...er I mean over. The screen is the same as the Palm V, which is actualy rather nice. For a while there was a large discussion on the texture of the screen vs. the Palm V, but it was later determined to be the stylus, not the screen itself.
