I never used a Psion.  I have been living with a Palm 3c for 5 or 6 years now and it's wonderful.  It interfaces perfectly with the Amiga's serial port.  The Spitfire software is excellent even without a Palm to connect to it. It's amazing there aren't more people who have married these 2 machines.

I've never connected my 3c to a PC.

I think Spitfire is on Aminet.

@ Kvasir

I bought a Zire 72 (in addition to the Palm IIIc) last year and it seems to only have USB interface.  I would love to use an adapter to RS-232 to interface it to my Amiga.  Is anyone using a RS-232 to USB adapter?  I haven't seen such an animal.

@ no-one in particular (this is NOT personal)

I'm always amused by the Computer Science guys who {bleep} about the Amiga's lack of protected memory and the Amiga's inherent instability.  Everyone has a belly-button and an opinion.  I appearently live in a different world.  I use the usual software packages nearly every day and very rarely experience a crash.  After a reset, I'm back up and running in about 5 seconds.  I never have to replace a corrupted C-MOS set-up, registry file, desktop file, or swap partition.  I had a bad partition one time under FFS (now use PFS2).  Modern OSes are great, in my opinion, if you can study them from afar and don't have to live with them.
