I'm eager to get my hands on a Psion, mainly for quick note-taking, as my PDA really isn't suitable. Any ideas where I could buy a cheapish Psion?....Why oh why are they no longer manufactured..

first place that springs to mind is ebay...
Yeah, eBay. They go for quite a lot though because of the numerous Linux distros available for some of the models![]()
Shame Psion went to the dogs. I really did like them.
get a fold-up keyboard and a palm instead - much easier to type on, and a very wide selection of apps available. and cooler, too

Yeah, eBay is about the only place you'll find one these days.
I loved my Series 5. The fold-out design was a work of beauty and the battery would last for months. I miss it.![]()
ah the good old Psion, I had a 3c and series 5. I loved them, much better than any current PDA I reckon, I swear they went bust though?
Psion didn't go bust, they just span off their OS/software division into Symbian and ditched making PDAs in favour of making industrial devices.
Random Psion fact: Psion Software wrote the Sinclair ZX classic "Horace Goes Skiing".
I remember programing simple actions on my psion after I got rid of my Apple NewtonNow does anyone remember the Newton?
Remember the newton?
I've got 4 of them around my desk, three of which see regular service![]()

I liked Psions better than Palms.
Stick a Psion in the drawer for a year, and when you dig it out the batteries are still good, and the data intact.

Better off gettin a 2nd hand PPC + folding KB, can probly get a reasonable one for £50 nowadays if you hunt on ebay
I was thinking about getting a folding keyboard, but I can't find one that will work with my old PDA - an HP Jornada 520. Any ideas on that either? That would actually be preferable.
Thanks
I loved my series 5mx, eventually sold it on ebay after I graduated for way more than I paid for it.
Dad still has his although he hardly uses it any more
