Oops

I think Gameboy beat me to the news of the Edge. Check out his post on the "New Visors" tread.

Or maybe Yahoo magazine will publish another article.

All-metal case, OS 3.5, piggyback SB adapter . . .

There's more info in a this new PDABuzz article. Looks like an April or May release. Sounds exciting.

Are they going to get sued by U2's lead guitarist for ripping off his name?

point of clarification

I think U2's guitarist is called "The Edge" and I think the new Handspring device is called the "Edge". I maybe wrong though.....

Speculations

Okay, so we have:
1.Visor Edge
2.Visor Snap
3.Visor Twist

The Visor Edge is suppose to be the new slim metal Handspring. The Snap is probably the piggy-back sled device for springboard attachments.

What the hell is the Visor Twist?!?! Any speculations?

Visor Twist...

Maybe the Visor Twist is a visor with 2 (possibly 3!??)springboard slots... hey, I'm sure they could fit another slot on there somehow. That would really kick, with an mp3 player in one end, and a wireless module in the other... or an eyemodule. That would really make the visor line customisable. Hey look, I can take your picture and send it off wirelessly via email in just a few seconds.

Any other ideas?

How about a cable (that twists) that extends the module connector? It would be good for heavy modules that might tip a Stowaway, cases that require you to remove them to change modules, or even for wireless stuff that causes RF interference.

Twist may be a serial cable converter/adaptor (just my 2 cents)

Isn't that what cptncelchu said, or did you mean something different?



Now all we need is an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie called "The Edge" .

I think you've all missed an important point here....

As neat as the idea of some new form-factored Visor is, you're all missing one critical point that affects us Visor Dlx'ers.


New top-of-the-line models means a lowering in price on the PRISM!

I personally love my Deluxe, can't currently justify upgrading to a Prism, and couldn't give a fig about metal-cased slimline, add-a-springboard slot later new form factor visors. But if they drive a prism's price down, I'm going to be a HAPPY Visor owner.

I was thinking about that too and I think the new color Palm505 will also have this impact. If they lower the price enough I'll definitely be getting a Prism.
