I do likey this. The guys that made the original Psion devices are doing a revamp after 17 years.

As usual I have no real use for this but I do want one lots. I did love my Psion 5.

 

 

It looks like it's flat but it has a development of the Psion hinge that tilted up the keypad to make it usable.

Not sure I'm so keen to drop $300 on a kickstarter but they do have a prototype working at least.

 

Will run Androind and a Linux variant.

 

 

I had the Psion 3 and then upgraded to the 5.

 

STUNNING and sophisticated in their time, as I had a Nokia 2110 to pair with it and bought the attachment to send and receive SMS messages on the Phion, using the Nokia to transmit and receive.

 

Still have my 5 too, along with a solid aluminium stylus that was a worthwhile accessory.

Starting to think I might pick up a Psion or two and put them away somewhere safe for a few years. Prices seem to be on the rise.
