Hey guys, I just got a reconditioned Handspring Visor Deluxe and it comes with Palm OS 3.1.
Is there a way to upgrade the OS version on those things???

Not on a Visor, as they do not have a flashable ROM.

you can sort of upgrade the OS. Handspring.com has some patches that make 3.1 into 3.1.1 etc. It's 3.5, but not fully because it's just patching some things.

related: download something called QuickBits. It's a system patcher that has faster algorithms for drawing forms, text, etc. makes your device just a little faster .
