SAN DIEGO, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Gateway (NYSE: GTW) today expanded its

Wireless Messaging Solution, which makes it easy to stay connected through
e-mail and paging with family, friends and business associates while on the
go.
The new package -- available immediately from Gateway and priced at
$549 -- features the Handspring 8MB Visor(TM) Deluxe handheld computer, and
