Worth Watching: Psion Revo


Although the Psion Revo is not available in the US yet, you may want to keep an eye on it. The Revo has received rave reviews in Europe and is a very sophisticated device with a robust 32-bit OS.

A PalmLounge reader offers some perspective:

It behooves any Palm devotees to understand what Symbian’s EPOC Technology is all about. The 3Com spin on the Nokia/Palm alliance is sharply at odds with the real deal. My non-technicalunderstanding is that 3Com needs a 32-bit OS to satisfy the increasing needsand wants of its customers. It is, at the same time, trying to hypeinterest in its OS for the IPO. So it is walking a fine line ofsimultaneously pushing its increasingly obsolescent core technology yet inneed of augmenting it.

For more background, read the Nokia press release about the formation a new joint venture between Nokia, Ericsson and Psion called Symbian.
