Handspring Developer Technical Notes

From 2000 to 2002, Handspring published a series of technical documents designed to introduce developers to key concepts for building hardware and software for their unique Visor line of Palm devices. The Application Notes series, as it was called, covered everything from design standards to programming practices to the mechanical functions of Springboard expansion modules.

While 22 Application Notes were created, only 16 were ever published, presented below alongside other technical documentation.
