When the Visor was announced,
no one could have known all of the great products that would be coming
out this year alone. At this moment, VisorCentral has almost sixty
full reviews done, and almost all of those products deserve to be in these
awards. This number will hopefully double next year. The winner
of the Product of the Year not only made the Visor easier to use, but raises
the bar for handheld products and is appealing to all users.
Winner:
Targus Stowaway
keyboard
The Stowaway, which also won General
Accessory of the Year, is one of the most groundbreaking products ever
made for any handheld -- not just the Visor. This folding keyboard
gives users the ability to carry a something that's not much bigger than
the Visor itself, yet unfolds to become a full-size keyboard. This
product has won many other awards this year, and Think Outside and Targus
are going to need to make room for yet another well-deserved award.
James: This product has raised the bar in portable
computing. Handheld users can now carry their Visor in one hand and
their keyboard in the other hand -- not under their shoulder.
Honorable Mention: Handspring
Backup Module
While not as glamorous as some of the other Springboard modules available,
the Backup module is certainly the most useful. If anyone has ever
lost important data, this $40 lifesaver can be there to pull it back into
your Visor. Don't leave home without it!
