| Psion built an excellent range of handheld computers, from 1984 to 2001. These act as PDAs, but for some of us are so much more. They include a full wordprocessor, spreadsheet, and cardfile database, as well as the usual PDA diary, address book and alarm applications. And the bit that gets my interest: they include a built-in programming language! This page has a bit more about my collection and what I do with the machines. | ||
| My collection includes: Psion Series 7, Ericsson MC218, Psion Series 5mx, Psion Series 5 "Classic", Psion Series 5 "Special Edition", Psion Revo Plus, 2 x Psion Revo, 2 x Oregon Scientific Osaris, Psion Series 3a, Psion Series 3a "Walnut", Psion Series 3s, Psion Series 3, Psion HC110, Psion Organiser II LZ, 2 x Psion Organiser II XP, Psion Organiser II CM. | Auctions of my Psion-related bits on eBay occasionally appear. These include things like duplicate copies of Palmtop Magazine, which covered the Psion range from the Series 3 onwards. | |
| Games on the Psion interest me greatly. So much so, that I maintain a whole separate web site about them. Those pages contain my own games, a database of games for 32-bit Psions, and a monthly magazine leaflet called EPOC Entertainer. | Programming is a hobby of mine, and the Psion is ideal for this. OPL is an advanced version of the BASIC language found on early home computers. Apart from games, I have written one or two utilities, including Pallete, which asks for a screen mode, and displays the full palette in that screen mode. I use it to create a range of Psion palettes for my desktop graphics package. | |
