Seven Peripherals for Your Palm:

By Mike Desmond

When the first PalmPilot arrived back in 1996, it fulfilled a simple mission: to serve as a digital personal organizer. Now the little handheld that could--and its cousin, the Handspring Visor--are spawning a cottage industry of teeny devices that promise to replace everything from digital cameras to road maps. The question is: Are these new products more cool than they are convenient? We took a look at six handheld accessories to find out.



1) Palm Portable Keyboard for Palm V

If your hand is cramping from stylus overuse or if you haven't quite mastered Graffiti, here's an excellent solution.

2) Handspring EyeModule

Snap this Springboard module into your Visor and you'll have a digital camera in your hands.

3) Rand McNally StreetFinder GPS

This temperamental mapping device comes with fantastic software.

4) OmniSky Minstrel V Modem

The OmniSky modem connects you to the most mature wireless Web service we've tried.

5) Handspring Modem

It's just a plain old wired modem, but it will let you surf the Web on your Visor.

6) Kodak PalmPix

Turn your Palm IIIc into a digital camera.
