"To support the rollout of Visor in Japan Handspring has also implemented Japanese customer care, technical support and logistics centers. The introduction of Visor into the hotly contested Japanese handheld market is the company's next step in establishing a worldwide customer base for its popular handheld computers that have been well received already in the U.S. and Europe.
