i thought handsprings (and palm pilots in general) had OSes that weren't upgradable because they're coded into the hardware.

maybe i'm wrong.

Well some of the palms have bios that can be upgraded, however none of the handspring's can be upgraded, sorry. If you look you can find some good deals on the older palm os pda's, I'm looking at a sony sl22 for about 90 dollars.

ggadgit is right, the Handspring OS cannot be upgraded. They licesnsed the OS from Palm and re-worked it for Handspring.

Check e-bay for some used Visors. That's where I got mine.
