Handspring brings Platinum back from the Dead

Gee, just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

And the reason is...

There is more to the difference in colors than words alone can relate. The friggin' Neo comes ONLY in fruity colors. If I want a tutti-fruiti PDA I will buy one of those teeny bopper gadgets with the built in games and cool wireless messaging system. For business users (well many business users) a black or silver color scheme is desirable. For this reason alone I would buy a Platinum over a Neo. What was Handspring thinking? Not all of us work in Silicon Valley.

Ohhh, you're a "professional" so you get the Visor Pro!

There is a smoke Neo, which would be somewhere in between silver and black-a perfect solution for a business pro-not too dark and not too flashy!

The Visor Neo had those "Fruity" colors for a reaso. The Neo was aimed at high school kids , who would prbably prefer those colors. The Paltinum was designed for the buisness market

I have a Visor Neo in Smoke... very business oriented color. And Franklin Covey only sells that color, not the other two. SO... I think that having a Neo in smoke should work just fine for a business person.

Me too, me too....

And what's the difference between the Platinum and the Neo except for the colors, anyway? OK, except for the FAST LOOKUP feature -- I bought a Platinum before they were "snuffed" out and then "revived," so as far as I'm concerned, there IS no difference. Why didn't Handspring just compile the Neo and Platinum together? I mean, you have to admit, they're pretty much the same thing -- same space, same batteries, and same Palm OS version number (not like Handspring's gonna update THAT any time soon, but anyway).

And, having the Platinum doesn't make you a business person, and having the Neo doesn't make you a high-school kid. I think Handspring would save money by combining the colors into one NEO. (I like the name better anyway.)
