Psion
The Psion Revo is a remarkably powerful, feature-rich and lightweight PDA. An interesting alternative to Palm or Pocket PC organisers, the Psion is stylish and slim and has a high-speed processor and built-in long-life batteries.The Revo is relatively simple to set up. Connect the AC adapter to the serial cable (the power cord does not plug into the docking station), hook up the serial cable to your PC, open the Revo's case and slide the Revo into the docking station. (The Revo cannot fit into the docking station unless the case is open.) A green LED confirms that the Revo is properly docked and a red LED indicates that the battery is fast charging. The battery charges to 85 per cent capacity in just 1.5 hours and fully charges in four hours. The charged battery lasts about 12 hours.
The Revo is based along the same lines as earlier Psion models, but with considerable cosmetic and technical improvements. You operate this organiser with the 14 touch-sensitive buttons that border its screen or by using the stylus to tap onscreen buttons and menus. Psion has made every effort to keep the operational controls above the keyboard, thus maximising the space available for keys. Still, typing on this small keyboard requires much getting used to, and the keys' tactile feedback is not very satisfying.
Testing for this review, it was possible to type memos, make appointments, add addresses and create a sample spreadsheet using the Psion's built-in applications. Agenda and contact information automatically synchronises with your PC. For other files, such as those made using the Psion's surprisingly advanced word processor and spreadsheet applications, the PsiWin software transfers and converts the files to a PC-compatible format, such as Microsoft Word or Excel. The Revo's PsiWin software is also compatible with Lotus SmartSuite, WordPerfect, dBASE and more.
Psion licences its EPOC operating system from Symbian, so the interface is not as instantly obvious as with a Microsoft Pocket PC/Handheld PC based device. However, the steps to perform tasks are relatively intuitive. The Revo is accompanied by an extensive handbook that provides a detailed introduction to the comprehensive suite of PIM applications and check out the CD-ROM for additional utilities and tools.
The Revo's built-in applications are Calc, Time, Word, Data, Sheet and Cascade. Additional applications include Today View, Agenda, Contacts, Phone and Jotter. The Revo also supports e-mail, SMS messaging, Web browsing, PC synchronisation and connections to compatible mobile phones through its infrared port and an optional travel modem. If you are looking for an alternative to both Pocket PC and Palm OS organisers, consider the Psion Revo.
Also available for the Revo is a collection of Psion Accessories and Psion Software

The Psion Revo Plus, looks remarkably similar to its sister product, the Revo. It also shares many of its characteristics, being a powerful, feature-rich, and lightweight PDA. The most notable differences from the Revo are the inclusion of an extra 8Mb of memory (making 16Mb in total) and the addition of some Web browsing software, for both standard Web pages in the form of the highly respected Opera Web browser and WAP (wireless application protocol) pages, more commonly associated with the new breed of mobile phones.An interesting alternative to Palm or Pocket PC organisers, the Revo Plus is stylish and slim and has a high-speed processor plus built-in long-life rechargeable batteries.
The Revo is relatively simple to set up. Connect the AC adapter to the serial cable (the power cord does not plug into the docking station), hook up the serial cable to your PC, open the case and slide the Revo Plus into the docking station. (It cannot fit into the docking station unless the case is open.) A green LED confirms that the Revo is properly docked and a red LED indicates that the battery is fast charging. The battery charges to 85 percent capacity in just 1.5 hours and fully charges in four hours, and the battery lasts about 12 hours.

What could be more convenient? This device connects to the standard parallel port of a wide range of printers, allowing documents to be beamed via infrared from the Psion direct to your printer. This infra-red printer adapter enables wireless printing directly from your Psion, Palm powerd organisor or pocket PC to your printer, while still allowing you to print from your desktop PC. So much more convenient than plugging and unplugging a printer cable or printing via a PC! Ideal for an office as several users can print on the same printer without disconnecting its lead. Easy to install: it fits directly onto the standard parallel port on your printer and is powered by a 9V PP3 battery, which is supplied. Printing via the PC is unaffected and the adapter automatically detects printer problems and holds data transmission to prevent data loss, then resumes later. The adapter is compatible with multiple IR standards.Compatible with the Psion Revo, Revo Plus, Series 5, Series 5mx, Series 7 and netBook plus all Pocket PCs and most Palm powered devices. iPAQ users click here to download HP's free IR printing software.
