Advantages: Memory, great inbuilt software

Disadvantages: zilch content

Most people who own Psion products tend to be evangelical about them. In the same way that Betamax video owners sang their praises in the late seventies - and in the same way that Apple Mac users stoicly defend their choice of technology.
I myself own a Psion, and initially went through the phases of praising its memory capacity, its sleek design and its versatility in terms of compatability with other software packages.
However, once you become aware of the wealth of content available to Palm OS users - the Guardian, BBC, Economist, Business Week... to name a few - the Psion seems quite parochial.
It is undeniably the better machine, but Psion don't seem to have made an effort to establish partnerships with the sexier content providers. As a result, if you want to access the latest news on your Revo - without the laborious dial-up hooked up to your mobile - you have to make do with email newsletters. Whereas, via Avantgo on the Palm OS, you can hotsync the PDA and automatically recieve snazzy PDA versions of your favourite reads.
Get your act together Psion. I love your product, but you haven't cut the mustard content-wise.
