These guys are trying some sort of open source design project?? I hope it's not someone's senior design project I could be wrong, but I think there must still be some Psion IP still around somewhere. It's been a long while since I've been doing hard-core engineering, but these guys seem like they don't have a clue about power conservation issues, etc., just pie in the sky what would you want kind of stuff.

Just been through the diaporama for memory's sake (I also have worn out a Series5 and two 5mx over the years... darned ribbon cable :-).
I agree that the general tone of the comments (and especially the "questions" about screen definition, batteries, hard disk etc.) are pretty clueless and amateurish, not to mention dreaming of having the beast run XP, of all things... However, the art job is pretty good IMHO and I could imagine this as a (somehow conservative) vision of what Psion could/should be doing at this time if they had stayed on the market. Just add Wifi and BT, of course :-)

... which proved to be a backfiring attitude, of course :-)

I especially like the mention of using two AA batteries for everything they wanted to put in it, before moving on to one of those new-fangled LiIon batteries.
