Psion 5mx - instantly on/off, and a comprehensive word processor all ready to go (plus a whole lot more!)


I'll second the Psion Series 5 range! Great size, decent keyboard and lasts for ages on a couple of AA batteries, can't beat it for quick note taking!

Also worth looking for is its rarer (and therefore more expensive) brother, the Series 7 or Netbook. 640x480 colour screen, larger keyboard, inbuilt rechargable battery, and similar software to the Series 5.

Both run a very decent OS: Symbian...

Ah yes, I remember looking at that back when I owned a Series 3... The networking protocols didn't change between the S5 and S7, as far as I know, so AmigaNCP should work with the Series 7 and Netbook too.

A great shame Psion stopped making PDAs. I really wanted a colour Series 5-sized machine...
