You
should have been in London last Wednesday ... Li from Laser had a Visor
with a
nice little IR module that was doing RF too. Using OmniRemote as software
(IIRC)
which was held on the module too.
I
don't know where he got it from or how much but I know that he'd modified
it
from standard to do RF and there was another position for a second IR LED
in
case you weren't belting out enough grunt. Looked like a winner to
me!
Don't
know whether there's a colour Visor out and whether this module would use
it but
could be a serious contender for a Pronto upgrade when you take the RF
capability into account.

Hi all,
I just read on the PC Pro site (www.pcpro.co.uk) a brief report of Xircom
announcing a wireless ethernet springboard module for Handspring Visors. I
know a number of people have been talking about using an iPaq as a
sophisticated remote by accessing a web server over ethernet -
this
seems to be a possibly much cheaper but otherwise similar solution. I must
confess to having no knowledge of Palm OS devices but £150 for the lowest
spec
Visor plus whatever for the Springboard module must come to less than the
£400
it takes for an iPaq by itself. Of course you don't have the colour screen
but
still....
I guess that (as with all things ;-)) it'll
probably come down to the price of the ethernet module - assuming it ever
gets
to this side of the pond at all.
Regards,
Oliver.
