What is the Visor Craze about?

We've come up with a nice little list of "reasons" (excuses?) to buy a Visor:

1. They're beautiful: the design is less sleek and slender, but frankly they are much more colorful. They make Palm PDAs look conservative and boring...
2. They're cheaper: half the price of a Palm for a lot more versatility. This price makes Visors accessible for many more people: students, and young professionals. Visor will do for PDAs what Nokia did for mobile phones, and Swatch did for Swiss watches: democratise them by making them affordable and anti-snobish!
3. Like Palms, they're great companions: Lets admit it, its nice to have a little plaything to fool around with. Load you favorite internet content with AvantGo and surf the news headlines on the go. Make a few notes, browse the mail you've hotsynced from the office Lotus-notes system.
4. Visors are versatile: today its only a PDA, tomorrow it will be a radio, a phone, a mobile browser, a remote control, a walkman....

What do you think of Visors? If you already bought one, what are your experiences with it? What Handspring modules would you like to see?
