I am surprised it does not mention Psion. With better management we could had iphone 10 years earlier. Psion Series 5 has no replacement even after 19 years (keyboard, display, battery life..)
- Ulti 10y agoI'd say most netbooks or tablets replaced it for all of those things now... But you're right that Psion were super innovative. More important than their series 5 hardware was the operating system. EPOC was a 32bit embedded OS long before anyone else was doing them. It was nice to program for and dealt with multiprogram which even the first iPhones didn't think about.
