ZDNet schrijft dat Handspring op 19 oktober een Visor PDA zal introduceren met een 16 bits kleuren schermpje, te weten de Visor Prism. Dit is de eerste PDA van Handspring met een kleurenscherm. De Visor Prism is bedoeld voor de handheld gamer, en er zal minstens één spel bij geleverd worden. De prijs wordt 449 dollar, 150 dollar meer dan de monochrome versie met goedkopere batterijen

Handspring's first PDA with a color screen is the $449 Visor Prism. Palm released its color IIIc earlier this year, but the display was limited to 256 colors. The Prism will have 16-bit color screen generating 65,536 colors and will be pushed as a game player. It will be bundled with at least one game.
Competing PDAs from Compaq and HP, based on Microsoft's Pocket PC platform, have been using color displays for about three years.
The Prism will be based on the 30MHz Motorola Dragonball processor and will come with 8MB of RAM. It will be powered by a lithium-ion battery, which Handspring says charges in 90 minutes.
The Prism will use Version 3.5 of the Palm OS and be slightly thicker than currently available Visors.
The second unit will be called the Visor Platinum and will cost $299. The Platinum will also come with a 30MHz Motorola Dragonball processor and 8MB of RAM, but its screen will be monochrome and it will not have rechargeable batteries. Instead it will run on 2 AAA alkaline batteries.
