    I'm morning the demise of Psion hardware too. I think we should set up a support group...

    The Nokia 91XX and 7650 are EPOC^W Symbian based devices[1], so is there nearst your going to get to a Psion for a while... :(

    Also Ericsson have a device based on Symbain, the Ericsson R380e.

    [1] I'm sure you know this, but I bet there are plent of people on this forum that don't, EPOC is the OS that powers the Psion based device. EPOC has now been renamed to Symbian, targeted at phones and no longer a part of Psion (thou. Psion are it's begest share holders, others inc. Nokia, Ericsson, Intel, Kenwood, Motorola, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sony and Siemens[2].

    You can't, he's porting GPL stuff, which (as it's the GPL) means he's ports are GPL'ed.

    err, Nokia 9210 runs the same OS as a Psion (and Psion have effectivly quit the PDA market, and are focusing on EPOC (the OS in Psions and the Nokia 9210 & some other phones) and very very expenive & big PDA's for building sites, the kind of stuff you can wash under a tap, and drop like 10 feet.
