According to Pen Computing, the reason Handspring sells the red edge only on the web is because retail outlets didn't want it.

Could this be true?

Anything's possible I guess... though I don't know if the retailers really carry that much clout. I don't know anything about retail but I would think that with a product like the Visor (any model), Handspring would have the upper hand.

I don't know, if retailers are willing to carry Orange Vdx's, or Flower Power iMacs...

Most retailers don't carry the orange or green Vdx, or at least the ones I know of - many have the option to order them for you though.

Actually, I was of the impression that they were only selling the red directly was because it would be a popular choice and they make more on direct sales. Just my opinion. I know that's the one I'd go for if I would've been able to choose. But my desire for retail comfort prevented me from such. I'm rather pleased with my decision, given the digitizer crap-out.
