Rumor: Visor Snap Coming Next Week
Posted by: Ed on Friday, June 22, 2001 11:11:29 AM

Coming from a very reliable source, though not from inside the company, is the rumor that Handspring will release the Visor Snap next week. The Snap is rumored to have a high-resolution color screen. The exact resolution isn't known yet, though it is reported to be closer to the HandEra 330's than the Sony N710C's. Whether this means a soft Graffiti area is also unknown.
For a processor, the Snap is reported to be running a 66 MHz Dragonball chip, though this actually takes some credence away from this whole rumor. Motorola only announced the 66 MHz DragonBall Super VZ a couple of weeks ago and it won't be shipping until the fourth quarter of this year.

When judging the accuracy of this rumor, it is important to remember that PC Expo is next week, which is important enough to be a venue for a major announcement of this kind. Also, Handspring does have a pavillion at the Expo.

Wow. I think there should be some truth in some of that, but who knows. I think Handspring should make the resolution equal or better than the best. The buyer wants to know that he or she is buying a top-of-the-line product. I'm tired of Palm always being a step ahead. My 2 cents.
