Last week I bought a Palm m105, and today I bough another one, a Handspring visor which was released earlier. They have the same operating system, PalmOS v3.x though different minor version.
I prefer visor appearance that looks modern, like today high-end pda-phone. But both hardware is almost the same, Motorola dragonball 16MHz, infra red and stylus. However I feel m105 has better response, maybe the newer version OS is faster. The power is provided by 2 AAA batteries that are easily found. Though apparently consume more power, visor can preserve its state, when the batteries are removed for short time, unlike m105 that will lose its state once it lose the power.
The m105 was completely new, came with all inside the package box, except the box itself. Meanwhile the visor came with nothing, so I can only use the IrDA connection to communicate with computer.
Paragraphs above are written on Handspring visor which has larger screen, but there is something missing there, note pad, that gives possibility to draw scratches. However I tried to install a third party drawing software. It worked, but I haven't figured out how to transfer the artwork to a pc.
The connection scheme is visor-m105-pc. The m105 uses serial port, so I have to provide usb to serial converter for my laptop which doesn't have serial port. Fortunately my friend gave me one, great! It cost more expensive than the PDAs both. I also eye an apparently usb infrared extension in the 2nd hand shop, it's cheap, but my mean mind still reluctantly agree.
