PSION Resurrected By Linux

razzer writes: "The PsiLinux.org team have worked magic with getting Linux to squeeze into its new home of portable computers. Thanks to the falling prices in hardware the PSION 5mx is the most powerful, cheapest and smallest way to carry your best friend Tux in your pocket. Something no geek should leave home without. But now its gone one step further, check out http://thomas.de-ruiter.cx/projects/psion which is Tader's site. You really need to see these PicoGUI ( http://www.picogui.org/ ) screenshots. The best one has got to be this one which shows the oustandingly attractive aqua theme."

3G cell phones

[interiot]

Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, and others will be basing some of their new 3G phones off of a psion-derivative, Symbian OS. Hopefully this will result in a consistent API that stands a fighting chance against Windows CE in the cell-phone market.

PicoGUI help wanted

[micahjd]

PicoGUI already runs on several platforms, including the Agenda VR3, the VTech Helio, TuxScreen, uCsimm, and now the Psion.

PicoGUI's still in need of developers, authors, and artists. We need developers to write PicoGUI applications and help debug/extend/port pgserver. We need authors to write more documentation. We could even use some artists (preferably with some programming knowledge) to make some more themes. If you're interested in helping, join the pgui-devel mailing list or stop by the #picogui IRC channel on irc.openprojects.net.
