Hi Mark,
the Psion Series 3 was by far the best PDA ever in my opinion,  
instinctive software, beautifully made and functional. Killed by  
cheaper less effective competition. Many people buy on price alone  
and will never know what good value effective items are, even when  
they are expensive. I have still never used a PDA as logical:-(
A parallel theme to Leica in many ways actually.
Frank
