PALM vs VISOR
(OP)
Considering buying a Palm V but Visor prices are considerably better. Visor claims Palm OS. Any experience to help my make my buy decision?

RE: PALM vs VISOR
The Handspring folks seem like they beat Palm to the punch more too. The next greatest device is usually by Handspring (ie: Handspring Trio), as appossed to Palm (Windoze CE is different).
But, keep in mind that the Handsprings run the actual Palm OS, so is Palm changes the OS, the Handspring is then behind till they rewrite it (or pay Palm for it).
Also, I haven't kept up, but Handspring was in the process of purchasing Palm. Maybe that tells you something about the situation.
Either way, if you do not have any "palm" device, you need one, and I think you would be very happy with a Handspring Visor, as I am.
Its like this (if you don't know). A Visor (Palm) is definetly something you DON'T need, but once you have and use one, you can't live without one. It is that cool...

Of course, you have to buy "additional" programs for the Palm world device, but you Jornada will cost more anyway, so it might be a wash. You compare and decide.
Also, look at the memory in each "type" of system. WinCE devices need MORE memory for their OS and their Apps, so an 8mb WinCE device may limit you compared to a 8mb Palm.
