OT ?: Psion (pre)announces its $500 Hand-held , no IBM parts Uses ARM processor instead of IBM's PowerPC . This strangely vague product announcement which appears driven by the competition between Palm and Mindspring: ===== " Psion takes on Palm with new handheld By Bloomberg News LONDON--Psion, Europe's largest maker of palmtop computers, said it will start selling a new pocket-sized product this month that is smaller than any of its current models, taking aim at 3Com's popular Palm series. The two-tone spectacle case-shaped "Revo" weighs about the same as a mobile phone and costs $500. It will be sold through stores in Europe and on the Internet in the United States. Separately, 3Com said it will cut the price of its latest Palm VII by $100 to $499. Analysts said the new Psion machine could prove a popular rival to the Palm VII. Both fit in a pocket and offer wireless Internet access through an external modem or a mobile phone. The Revo will link to Psion's free Internet service, Psion.net. Like the Palm, the Revo can be attached to a desktop computer to share data. Unlike the Palm, it has a keyboard. news.cnet.com ===== Sold by Internet only in the USA . Weird . Jim K. PS: Very funny Art except for where that solo engineer landed - Wonder if the Lawyers call it heaven ? PPS: Updated specs on Psion's product - not involved with IBM techweb.com
