The Psion Series 3mx and Series 3c have a similar overall external appearance, except the 3mx sports a matte silver metallic paint covering, rather than the dark grey finish of the 3c. In 2003–4, Psion Teklogix and its founder David Potter expressed interest in Linux as the operating system for its devices as it divested from Symbian. [33] [34] [35] However, the only result of that interest was Linux as the operating system on a limited number of custom NetBook Pros designed for a hospital setting. [36] Software supplied on DATAPAK included a crude programming language called POPL, in which end-users could write their own programs. Software DATAPAKs titled Science, Maths and Finance contained the POPL programming language editor, interpreter and runtime and extended the built-in calculator by adding named functions. These DATAPAKs also contained different sets of application programs written in the POPL language.Jones, Marc Ambasna (23 April 1999). "Mobile Linux for Psion pressures Win CE". News. UK: ZDNet . Retrieved 17 June 2007. Coincidentally, Boris also created and maintained (until his death)a CommsLink replacement program that works in Win9x/2k/XP/Vista/7 -- although officially nothing after XP is supported, I have a copy somewhere that I've used on a Win7 install and it works... alas, the forum was also the help-docs repository, and I*don't* have a copy of that material, so Ihope you're enough like me to be well-acquainted with the "press random buttons and see what works" method of learning how to use something ;)

But in the 1990s the Organiser 3 was competing with rival devices such as the Apple Newton, devices from Palm Computing, and increasingly mobile phone makers such as Motorola and Nokia. Also bear in mind some LZ64s seem to suffer from a 'buzzing capacitor' problem - again if you're not confident in fixing this you may wish to avoid this model... it never takes up room on your datapaks, but this does mean unlike SAVEd diaries which may be stored on Datapak. This means

Interesting side note here – in 1998, Symbian renamed EPOC as Symbian and formed a partnership with Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola o exploit its developer ecosystem on smartphones. In 2004 Nokia bought Psion’s share of Symbian. The Organiser II was widely used for commercial applications in companies such as Marks & Spencer, where it was used on the shop floor, with their branding instead of Psion's and with only limited keys visible to the end user. It was also used in the world's first large-scale application of mobile technology in government, where over 3,000 were used for benefit calculations by the Employment Services department of the UK government. It proved popular with surveyors who interfaced it with electronic theodolites, which proved to be the precursor to the now popular total station. The file should now be sent to the PC. If there is already a file of that name on the PC, you will be asked whether you want to overwrite it. Press Y if that is ok, but if not, you can press N for no and choose a different remote file name. As of autumn 2017 several software features and hardware devices are still being developed and are available including a JavaScript Emulator, Parallel Interface, USB Commslink, 32 kilobyte (KB) and 256 KB RAMpaks, and 512 KB FlashPak. Introduced in 1984, the Psion Organiser series defined the first generation of electronic organizers or PDAs (personal digital assistants). Even though these devices are now over 30 years old, the Psion Organiser scene is alive and well: with new hardware and software is still being developed by enthusiasts the world over. The Organiser II, with its brand-new USB interface

In 2004, Psion disposed of the company's remaining Symbian shareholding to Nokia, as they no longer regarded it as a core part of their strategy. [8] Last years (2010–2012) [ edit ]It is often rumoured that EPOC stands for "Electronic Piece Of Cheese" however Colly Myers, who was Symbian's CEO from founding until 2002, [12] said in an interview that it stood for 'epoch' and nothing more. This development effort produced the clamshell QWERTY-based Psion Series 3 palmtops (1993–98), which sold in the hundreds of thousands, and the Psion MC-series laptops, which sold poorly compared to the DOS-based laptops of the era.
