All these PDAs have a small keyboard, which in all but the Organizer's case is of the standard QWERTY layout.
Psion was established in 1980, and during the first three years developed games and utilities for the early home computers such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Some of the software was released by Melbourne House. Its name is said to mean "Potter Scientific Instruments Or Nothing", a reference to its founder David Potter
Psion developed its own operating system called EPOC to run its PDA products. In the latter half of the 1990s Psion saw the potential for convergence between PDAs and mobile phones, which resulted in the eventual formation of the Symbian company in June 1998 in conjunction with leading companies in the sector, notably Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola. Psion retained a 20-30% shareholding in the spun-out business. The EPOC operating system became known as the Symbian Operating System, which today powers a number of leading smartphones such as the Sony Ericsson P900The Sony Ericsson P900 is a Symbian OS v7. 0 based smartphone from Sony Ericsson. It is the successor of the Sony Ericsson P800, and like the P800 uses the UIQ user interface. Like other Symbian-based smartphones, the P900 is an open phone, which means th series.
Psion withdrew from the consumer hardware business in 2002 in the face of decreasing margins and competition from keyboardless PDAs from companies such as PalmpalmOne, Inc. is the name of the hardware division of the company formerly known as Palm, Inc. after the split of the hardware and software divisions and subsequent merger with Handspring, Inc. The software division of Palm, Inc. became known as PalmSourc, largely retreating into the industrial mobile data-entry hardware sector through their purchase of Teklogix (Canada).
In 2004, Psion announced its intention to dispose of the company's remaining Symbian shareholding to Nokia, as they no longer regarded it as a core part of their strategy. Although opposed by many shareholders, the large shareholding of the founder, David Potter, ensured the vote was carried.
Having closed or disposed of all its previous operations, Psion today comprises of one remaining operating division, Psion Teklogix.
In high energy physics the Psion is a mesonIn particle physics, a meson is a strongly interacting boson, that is, it is a hadron with integral spin. In the Standard Model, mesons are composite (non-elementary) particles composed of an even number of quarks and antiquarks.

Types of parapsychology The phenomena in question fall into two broad groups. Extra- and science fictionScience fiction generally speaking, is a form of speculative fiction which deals principally with the impact of imagined science and/or technology upon society or individuals.
