Could this be the PSION replacement so many (well, me at least) have been waiting for?

Nearly the same size (approx. 5mm shorter 5mm wider, 2mm slimmer) as a Psion 3a and the same weight too.

But why oh why did the not fit a larger screen. You could easily get a 6″ screen in this formfactor. even my old 3a had a 5 1/4″ screen.

This might be the closest yet for an ideal pocketable computer. I hope it will be as affordable as the 3a was which had by the way IMO far superior software than any rubbish which comes from MS.

That coverts to 6.22″ x 3.7″ x .74″; that is very slim but I wonder if 6.22″ will give enough space for those nice looking keys to actually be a touch type keyboard vs another poor thumb wannabe?
