I was wondering where they manufacture/ship Visors from. Anybody know?

I read somewhere that manufacturing is done in Malaysia. As for where they actually ship from, I'm not sure but I do not think it's from HS themselves. Something in this little brain of mine seems to recall Utah being mentioned somewhere. Perhaps a 3rd party entity.

If you take off the springboard expansion slot cover,
you will see "made in Malaysia"

All 3 visors I've ordered were shipped from the same address:

Handspring
48105 Warm Springs Blvd
Fremont CA 94539

I have an image of a sparkling warehouse with lines of tractor-trailers that say "Handspring" on the side and FedEx trucks buzzing around....maybe somebody near Fremont can drive by, take a picture, and post it here, so we can see what it REALLY looks like...

That sparkling warehouse is probably some third-party logistics provider... could even possibly be someone's garage!!! (just kidding)

they are not really selling that many visors, as on 1/19, the first order number is 000119-76331, and the last one is 000119-77773, do a little math here, the total orders are 1442. I didn't have time to check other days, but 1442 shipments in a day for a company like handspring(quite big I imagine), is not too much. (if they work 8 hours a day, that is ~ 180 shipments per hour, or ~3 per minute)
