What's gonna be with our beloved Visorcentral now that Handspring will be releasing new models with names other than Visor? Somehow Visorcentral seems to have a better ring to it than Prismcentral or Platinumcentral, or even Handspringcentral, but at least the latter has the advantage of clearly dealing with all Handspring devices, while the former implies a focus on the Visor. Any thoughts?

mmm, I hope this did start a cybersquating problem....

Well I don't think they need to worry just yet -- the two new units will be part of the Visor family just with some surnames -- atleast thats how I read the ZDNet article ..

Cerulean is right - according to the sources the new versions will be named Visor Prism and Visor Platinum, just like the current Visor Deluxe and Visor Solo.

However if HS decides on a completely new family name - you can be sure that we will cover it.

Alrighty then...Good decision on HS's part; They avoided alienating all their fan websites :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. I now own PrismCentral.com and PlatinumCentral.com. I've got a 2-for-1 special going: both URLs can be yours for $1 million. Or I'd be happy to trade them for your Prism and Platinum review units.
