Buy Visors at Comdex


Fri Nov 10, 2000 - 10:58 AM EST - By James Hromadka

Expect the word Comdex to be in a lot of news items for a week. Handspring announced that it will be selling Visors on the Comdex floor. From the press release:

Handspring will become the first COMDEX exhibitor ever to sell product on the trade show floor. In an exclusive agreement with the conference organizers, the company has secured the only retail space at the country's largest annual computer industry tradeshow to be held next week in Las Vegas, Nev. Visors, select Springboard modules and Visor accessories and COMDEX merchandise will be sold from two locations -- one in the main hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and another in the lobby of the Sands Hotel. The Handspring Store will be open daily from Sunday through Friday.

This is a real coup for Handspring, as I don't believe anyone has ever been allowed to sell their products at Comdex. I just hope they're selling travel chargers in case my Prism's battery goes out.
