New Psion Palmtop
Chris O'Byrne writes "Psion have
announced the Series 7 laptop computer.
It's sub-notebook sized, around $1,000 (though
only initially available in the U.K.), with 8.5
hours battery life, 640x480 colour LCD
touch-screen display,
instant-on, and all the usual
connectivity and other extras from a Psion
computer. The O.S. is
Symbian EPOC
32. Looks like an expanded and beefed-up
Series 5mx.

See info on Intel's web site.. About time too - the current StrongARM hasn't been updated much in 3 years. The new one (to be produced on a 0.18micron fab) can run up to 600Mhz (while consuming just 0.45W), while in low power mode it consumes just 0.04W while running at 150Mhz.
