Motorola To Buy PDA-Inventor Psion For $200 Million

judgecorp writes "Psion, the company which made the first handheld computers in the 1980s, invented the PDA, and launched the once-unstoppable Symbian OS, is to be bought by Motorola Solutions for $200 million. Following a merger with Teklogix ten years ago, Psion has just been making ruggedised business devices, a business where Motorola Solutions also plays — note, this is Motorola Solutions, not the phones division Motorola Mobility, which Google recently bought."

    What asshole modded you down? This is a fascinating coincidence if nothing else... and it IS something else, living copyright infringement... and not just downloading a movie and watching it yourself because you're poor, but taking something and redistributing it for the benefit of people that are not you. Fucking Slashdot has seriously changed, man...
