HandSpring to Introduce Color Visor?

ZDNet is reporting that in just a few weeks, Handspring will announce two new PDAs including a color version of the Visor:

First color Visor
Handspring’s first PDA with a color screen is the $449 Visor Prism. Palm released its color IIIc earlier this year, but the display was limited to 256 colors. The Prism will have 16-bit color screen generating 65,536 colors and will be pushed as a game player. It will be bundled with at least one game.

I’ve been wanting a Visor since they came out, but held out for a color PDA to replace my Palm IIIx. I wasn’t very impressed with the Palm IIIC’s 256 color display, but if Handspring can deliver a 16-bit color Palm OS machine at $450, I’ll be in line to buy the first one.
