Handspring develops and markets a family of Palm OS-based personal digital assistants, primarily known for its Visor and Treo product lines. These devices are notable for their Springboard expansion slot, an innovative feature that allows users to add modules for functionalities such as GPS navigation, digital cameras, MP3 playback, and early cellular phone capabilities, effectively transforming the PDA into a versatile, integrated mobile computing platform.
The company was founded in June 1998 by Jeff Hawkins, Donna Dubinsky, and Ed Colligan, the original inventors of the PalmPilot and co-founders of Palm, Inc. Their departure stemmed from a dissatisfaction with the strategic direction Palm was taking under its then-owner, 3Com. This insight fueled their ambition to create a new generation of handhelds that offered greater expandability and integrated functions.
Handspring targets individuals and professionals seeking advanced mobile productivity and communication tools that combine personal organization with emerging wireless and multimedia capabilities. The company's vision centers on pioneering highly functional, modular handheld devices that anticipate the convergence of computing and communication, laying foundational groundwork for the future of mobile technology and integrated smart devices.
Handspring has raised $18.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $12.0M Handspring Health - Series A in June 2025.
