The CardVisor® ID scanner is based on the the Visor handheld computer made by Handspring Inc.  This means that in addition to buying an ID Scanner, you are purchasing a handheld computer with the ability to load thousands of different software applications.  This is in additional to the several built-in applications such as the calculator, address book, to-do list, and date book. 

Handspring was co-founded by Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky in July of 1998 after their incredibly successful run together at Palm Computing. In 1994, Hawkins invented the original PalmPilot products and founded Palm Computing. He is often credited as the designer who reinvented the handheld market.  Dubinsky and Hawkins introduced the original PalmPilot in February 1996, a move that revitalized the handheld computing industry.
 

The Visor is a handheld computer that runs the popular Palm OS.  The big difference between standard Palm PDAs and the Visor is the Springboard expansion slot.  The TokenWorks® CardTool® Magnetic Card reader is one of the 50+ modules which plugs into the expansion slot and combined with the CardVisor age verificaiton software make up the CardVisor ID scanner.

100% Palm OS® compatible.

Hands down, the Palm OS makes everything you do a whole lot easier…and a lot more organized. You can download an endless array of software, beam information with other Palm™ users, and transfer existing Palm organizer data to your Visor with just one touch.

There's a Palm OS application just waiting to be downloaded.

Thousands of them, in fact. From music programs and e-books to arcade games, dictionaries and restaurant guides. And every single one of them can be downloaded to your Visor handheld right now. Assuming you have one, of course. If not, we know just the place to get one.

The Visor comes with 8 MB of RAM, providing plenty of room for thousands of addresses, to-do items, and memos; hundreds of e-mail messages; and several years of appointments. It also includes a USB synchronization cradle, two AAA batteries, a stick-on Graffiti "cheat sheet," a leather slip case, a stylus,  a Quick Reference Guide, and a software CD-ROM. The CD-ROM includes Palm Desktop Software, a software link to Microsoft Outlook, and the full-length User's Guide.
