The pocket computer is back!

It's a Psion!

Oh wow! Psion Series 3 - my first geeky crush (could never afford it at the time though...)

I doubt Apple are crapping themselves at the news...

[Dark Black]

Excellent... if it comes to fruition then finally a possible replacement for my aging N97 Mini

Been wanting a replacement mobi with a proper keyboard for ages.

They should be...

This has the potential to be very, very good.

[SlipTheJab]

Want!

It may be very, very good, but Apple have had a 10 year head start and once you're tied in to the Ipads and Iphones etc, it's very hard to switch (for example, have you ever tried moving Itunes purchases onto a different platform? Don't bother trying, it's technically possible, but life's too short). Timing is everything, and I reckon Psion are far too late to the party on this one.

It depends, the robustness of the Apple Ecosytem is being heavily challenged by disruptors such as Spotify and other cross platform subscription services.

5 years ago this would have applied to me but what with streaming services now I don't use iTunes for any media storage and consumption. Its all Spotify, iPlayer, Netflix now. And something like this wouldn't replace your Apple Kit but would be a nice little computer (for a couple of hundred notes?) running Linux as a complementary device.
