Dream Visor: Handspring Visor 2.0

This Visor would be better than others and have the following:

3. Springboard 2.0

you forgot high resolution and the included flying pigs

In all seriousness, if Handspring came out with a handheld as you just described plus hi-res, it would kill the competition except for those people who whine about the device needing to be thin. I wouild buy it in a heartbeat, or as soon as I get the money.

It would have to be a DREAM visor,

1. its not a treo: Handspring only makes treo's

2. I would cost $4,000.44 american.

3. And after the dream you bed is wet only in one spot.
