 I for one, and a lot of former Psion-owning acquaintances, have long
 bemoaned that there is no modern equivalent of the classic
 keyboard-driven PDA available today.
 Which is why I was rather interested by this device:

 Thanks for the reference. ?It looks an interesting product.
 But why "former Psion 5 owners", on this list of all places? ?I have never
 owned a Psion 5 - but I use my Psion 3c daily!
 Philip ?(still catching up on the list...) 
Well, true - but there is nothing quite like the Series 3 any more and
I don't think there ever will be again. Frankly, although there were
things I really missed about my various S3s, the S5s were better in so
many important or significant ways that I never considered moving
back.
I preferred the S3 interface, the keyboard shortcuts, the file/program
manager and much more, but the S5 was so much more capable, I never
regretted moving.
I'd give a lot for a modern S5 type device, but I would never go back
to an S3 today, I'm afraid...
