On my way back home to Sydney I saw antitrust in the airplane....

They showed a Blue Visor Deluxe and a Prism...B)

Pretty entertaining movie too...
Too bad they were using macs while the os looked more like UNIX... will they ever get it right in the movies?

Do files get embarrassed when they get unzipped?

I didn't see the movie yet, but since Miguel de Icaza had a small role in it, it may have been Gnome.

Can't be as bad as the computer in Office Space. Using a PC exterior and Mac-like OS.

I laughed my butt off when I saw that movie. All my friends were staring at me like "what?" I tried to tell them that they had the computer wrong, but they just stared.

who needs friends when I've got Aibo...arf arf

Yeah, I just saw it tonight. No less that 3, count 'em three visor closeups!!!

They were doing some pretty cool stuff with them too. Near the end we saw someone watching hi res, full motion live TV with a prism with a visorphone. Maybe that's some hidden feature Handspring hasn't told us about

A couple of weeks ago Walker Texas Ranger had what looked like a Hanspring Graphite Visor.

They were using as a speach recognition device to help a ranger (cage?) that temporarily lost his hearing.

Not that a watch WTR.
