Virgin,

I use a psion 5mx, had a 3c for years then upgraded.
It does a lot more than the palm. It’s a whole PC in your pocket. A full wordprocessor (not on palm) word compatible, full spreadsheet (not on palm) excel compatible, Internet browser (yes pprune in your pocket), E-mail, Diary (much more flexible than palm), to show just a few. Plus many useful programmes downloadable from the web.

Compact flash slot, IR modem available, battery life in weeks (average 5) not days as regularly reported on palm.

Try this page for info on psion www.btinternet.com/~andy.nott/index.htm
Or try this one to see the type of software available for both PDAs http://pda.tucows.com/epocsoft.html

Having said all that Palm is the larger org andhas captured the US market so far, Betamax?VHS? I hope not, I wouldn’t like to be without my psion.
