I've never had a Psion, but as I've become a dad, I've wished for devices for digital literacy that weren't tablets or phones. Something dumb with a dictionary, encyclopedia, calendar, an editor, and a few games, and physical keyboard is a great, safe introduction to the digital world.
- monkeydust 3y ago100% this as father of 6 and 4 year old. I still remember fairly vividly when my dad, an engineer, can from work one day and showed me the 3a, blew his and my mind especially. Not many tech devices have done that since.
- gawrex 3y agoYou should check out uConsole [1] from ClockworkPI. It still has WiFi, but you can probably disable it. [1] https://www.clockworkpi.com/product-page/uconsole-kit-rpi-cm4-lite https://www.clockworkpi.com/product-page/uconsole-kit-rpi-cm...
- jagged-chisel 3y agoIt’s a Linux system. You can definitely disable anything you want. (The current question is whether the uConsole ever ship)
- teruakohatu 3y agoThis device seems too good to be true. Have they shipped any?
- gawrex 3y agoThere is a whole forum thread about that [1] with updates from the devs, but I don't think anybody received theirs yet. [1]: https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/update-uconsole-shipping-related/9774/1 https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/update-uconsole-shipping-rel...
- rchaud 3y agoTry an Android e-ink tablet like a Boox Note. They have wifi, but it's mostly for file sync and stuff because web browsing on e-ink is bad enough to not be worthwhile.
- guestbest 3y agoI would like this for my daughter as well. She’s way to interested in my iPhone and handing her a keyboard disconnected from a computer is only interesting for a few minutes
