What on earth is a Handspring Visor?

[jamesglewisf]

It's like a Palm Pilot. It runs the same software as the Palm version. The people who invented the Palm Pilot quit their jobs at 3COM and started their own company.

okaaaay. If you say so. That's an awful weird name for a mini computer isn't it? At least with "palm pilot", you had a guess as to what it was, just by the name. A handspring visor sounds like something that a gymnist wears to block out the sun. uh yup.

It is a strange name.
