Psion Revo

My walk into a world of PDA's, Handhelds and Palms came via an urge to op on the go. I was fed up with, when spending time away from home, and invariably my desk and beloved PC, writing out ideas, or ops in long hand, and then having the arduous task when returning to the comforting hum and the warm glow from the monitor to type the buggers out. Talk about get on my nerves!! However, the urge became too strong to resist last year around October time. And .... I bought one. I just had to y'see. Now, I don't have a punishing schedule to uphold. There are no daily rounds of meetings upon meetings. I don't have a data base ...  Read the complete review

I was happily wondering through Comet the other day (always something of a minefield for me as far as my wife is concerned) and happened to pass the manager’s specials desk. This magical desk contains items which are deemed discountable, usually due to them being end of line stock or simply returned or damaged goods. My eyes fell upon one item in particular on this day, a white box with the word Psion printed on it and a picture of a sexy streamlined little organiser. It didn’t so much scream out to me as grab me by the throat and strangle me until I gave in to its tempting offer of organisation and functionality. Psion has always been a name ...  Read the complete review

I've had my Revo since Christmas, but I thought I'd wait a few months before writing my first review on it........... .....only I can't wait that long! The machine is simply brilliant! I must confess to having a longing for some fairly useless gadgets in my time, but I think I've actually got something that combines my love of all things flash with an actual purpose. A couple of years ago I had a used Psion 3a and I loved it to bits, but after dropping it one too many times the poor thing gave up and the screen broke. At the time I was working for a company that used Outlook all the time, and as a result I managed to blag a ...  Read the complete review

Ever since these small palmtop computers came out I wanted one (being a bit of a gadget & computer lover). However, I didn't really need an organiser and the price was always too high to justify. Then I started to do a home study course, however, a sizeable chunk of my weekend time was spent commuting from Kent to Bath Spa. I needed a way to keep up with writing up my studies without carrying a mountain of lever arch files etc. A palmtop was the obvious solution... One look at the Psion revo & I was sold, sure it wasn't as flashy as it's older sibling the Series5, but it was more compact and suited my needs exactly. Being able to ...  Read the complete review

In a competitive market the Revo stands out because it does many different things well. The Revo has some limitations. However, its various features distinguish it from the pack. Keyboard: I had decided to purchase a Handspring Visor. It is a very capable handheld which is easy to use and functional. At a local CompUsa I practiced graffiti and found it slow. I was drawn to a Psion Revo. I practiced with the keyboard. Although it certainly is not equal to a standard keyboard it worked well. The Revo keyboard is as good or better than the after-market keyboards available for the Palm and Handspring. You also do not need to carry the extra keyboard. Edge to Revo. ...  Read the complete review
