Fond memories of running around San Francisco around the year 2000 with my orange translucent Handspring Visor. Sure, it had no radios, but you could put in in a cradle attached to your computer and sync up info from the Internet. There was an app with a built in map and database of restaurants. It was a lightweight, fun-to-use, productivity tool. Brought it everywhere, to all my work meetings, diligently took notes and kept my contacts organized and up-to-date. Good times.
- don-code 5y agoThe Visor was a neat device on account of the Springboard slot. There was an attachment, the VisorPhone, which turned the Visor into what you'd easily recognize today as a smartphone. To boot, PalmOS on the Visor had a working TCP stack, so you could dial out (literally dial out - there wasn't even GPRS on it!) and send/receive e-mail, browse the Web, and so on.

In retrospect I wish we had kept the IBM XT as they are going for 400 right now. I got a keyboard for that palm and played games on it and stuff. My uncle got me into computers and I never looked back.
