Psion boss David Potter suggested a couple of days ago that the company will launch a couple of consumer-oriented PDAs later this year. I've had three of Psion's earlier products, culminating in my current and much-loved Psion 5MX.
The series 5 is quite a tool, though I suppose it's getting a bit long in the tooth, so on the face of it, this announcement is good news. However, I'm a little concerned about the use of linux as the PDA operating system. The earlier Psion organisers used their own OS - EPOC, and quite simply they were the most stable and reliable pieces of computing kit I've ever used. I have no issues with linux, but I'd like to know how it could improve on EPOC in this sort of usage...
