A New Visor Phone

Handspring should create a Visor Phone that takes advantage of bluetooh technology. It would have amodule that would basically be a blutooth module but would also contain flashable ram to hold the software. It then would have a headset or a whole seperate handheld unit allowing you to use the phone combined with the Visor without having to carry a bulky Visor around. The new erricson phone that supports bluetooth should be made to connect to the Visor so you can use your visor to dial calls but then be able to also use the phone seperate. By seperating the actual phone and the Visor would allow you to talk on the phone and enter/minipulate data at the same time. Especially in the Neo casing which smudges you would not get as many hand/face prints on the case.

Just my un-sorted idea

Good idea. Actually this is exactly the kind of functionality that blue tooth technology brings. For example, connect to the internet with your visor handheld via your ericson phone that is in your brief case. Talk on the phone via a blue tooth headset etc. I think we will see the bluetooth module and more devices in 2002. Who knows how Handspring will play, but for sure a bluetooth springboard module will be available.

I never said that it was practical at the time. Don't be so negative. Is the glass half full or half empty SSAS?
