Re: Are PDAs still alive?
Palm? Windows Immobile?
Real BOFHs used Psions...
If you couldn't run a terminal emulator on it and hook it up to a console port on a Switch, Router or 'that weird box' in the corner, what use was it anyway?
The Psions had the terminal emulator and rather nifty scripting functions.
Add the WYSIWYG word processor, spreadsheet and DBs, and you had all your important documentation in your pocket.
The modern replacement is the Planet Computers Gemini clamshell which is Dual or even Tripleboot...
(Android and Debian, and possibly also Sailfish or whatever floats your boat)
Mine only runs Android... yet...
And yes, the keyboard is just as good as on the Psion S5 series.
