4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice, but does not work with PRISIM, June 10, 2001

If you have a Handspring Visior Prisim, note that this does not work, as it requires the battery cover on the back of the unit!

1.0 out of 5 stars Caused a short and Fire (!) in my Visor, and lousy service, August 25, 2001

Thought the product would be a great way to save the environment, by using a rechargeable battery rather than continually running through batteries. One day, at work, I smelled an odor like matches and heard a popcorn crackling sound from my Visor. I immediately popped open the battery compartment and threw the batteries to the ground. The plastic around one of the terminal leads was melted and one battery was too hot to hold. On contacting ICU about a refund (since I didn't trust the unit anymore), they were neither helpful or apologetic in their emails. Simply, suggesting I contact a distributor about a refund. If they had even bothered to offer some assistance and troubleshooting, I wouldn't be writing this review.

As a commodity trader on the floor, I use my Visor a lot, and with the modem in place I was going thru batteries every week. I am now able to recharge my Visor in the car or at the desk if needed. The simplicity of the concept is its strength. Just plug and go.
