Does Co-Pilot do Visor emulation? (I understand it would still look like the Palm, but I'm just wondering if you could download the ROM etc.)

No, unfortunately the POSE (Palm OS Emulator) requres a Palm ROM to be transfered from your device. The Visor has a ROM, but this rom must (not sure why) be delivered via serial port. The POSE software doesn't understand the whole "USB" thing...yet.

Actually, I was just thinking...it might be possible if you get the serial cable option for your visor. Can anybody confirm this? I'll order a serial package and check it out.

Doesn't work with the serial cable either.
BTW, the Visor development kite docs state

"Note that the Visor handheld ROM cannot be used with the current version of POSE (PalmOS
Emulator) because of minor modifications to the hardware design such as button configuration. However, Handspring�s future goal is to provide a version of POSE that will supports Visor hardware.", p.I-4
