Psion May Look To Linux For The Next Big Thing

Posted by timothy on from the netbooks-are-sweet dept.

An anonymous reader points out this "interesting interview with Psion founder Dr David Potter. It explores the reasons why Psion sold their share in Symbian to Nokia and why Potter believes that there is good future for Linux on "compact" notebooks and the like. Guy Kewney is a very well respected commentator on technology, he's been doing for a long time and I've always found his insights to be pretty spot on. "

    They do Handhelds, right? I want a FreeBSD handheld. Cute mascot, established ports system, lots of support; FreeBSD has everything! :)

    How about a community of snobbish, elitist, condescending, necrophiliacs?

    Sorry, they've all switched to Gentoo Linux.

    Linux is a pile of shit made for commie faggots.

    Microsoft made the Internet possible, if it wasn't for MSIE there would never have been a web.

    Now manufacteres are just too penny pinching to pay Microsoft for the software they should be using and theyre saddling users with second-class software because of it.

    Refuse Linux now! It's not the real thing!
