Snap-on GPS device? Yes, indeed. The Palm is growing appendages faster than a walking catfish. Add-ons like a Kodak digital PalmPix camera module, clip-on MP3 player and printer are on the way, along with a dozen other peripherals. Why all the extra limbs? Because competition is intense in the digital jungle, and the Palm is being forced to evolve quickly. Visor, Handspring's handheld computer, runs Palm's operating system--but costs only $149--and features a special slot that allows it to morph into anything from a wireless telephone to a universal remote.

To do this, Time Inc.'s wizards came up with a solution that would have done a kindergartner proud: first they purchased an AP teletype machine (the kind with the clattering printer and bells). Then they jacked it into the wall of Levin's office. Then they pointed a camera at it. The result: Headline News, circa Nixon. And a love affair--between Jerry Levin and technology.
