I just became a subscriber to your site this week and let me say this: any fool can yap a bout a product based on specs (even rumored ones). Any any blogger can tell you why an announced product is a lousy deal.

BUT provide the reader with alternatives to sucky products AND do it in an entertaining manner and now you're providing a service. I thank you, good sir. Keep up the good work!

<Honestly, you’d have to strap me to a chair, pry my eyelids open, and play classical music in a loop in order to get me to use Windows XP on a 5″ screen.>

I bet to differ. I find that smaller form factors lend themselves well to a 5″ screen. Personally, I picked up the Viliv S5 last summer and haven't looked back. It doesn't do every single job, but I have larger machines for it – it is, however, a kick-ass portable. It's up to individual users. Even with my poor eyesight, I find 5″ + 1024*600 to be quite manageable

@Lee: I've read a grand total of 2 of your posts, and both involved bitching about “PCs with tiny screens”.

Coincidentally, 90% of those who come here do so to read about PCs with tiny screens. Haven't you figured out the whole “Liliputing thing”?

We can read specs. We're also familiar with the Sony VAIO P series (which you also name dropped in your other bitch-ed).

Perhaps you provide just the facts for now, and save the editorial for later, when you've figuredcoutcwhat this site is all about.

I have been using Psions since 1992, and own two Series 5s. The PsiXpda bears no resemblance to any of the Psion handheld computers because it is a rebadged Asian TABLET UMPC!! What attracted us hard-core Psion fans was the clamshell form factor, allowing you to put the device in your pocket, or drop it, and still protect its wonderful though monochromatic screen.
I have been using the UMID M1 mbook since Dynamism began supplying it, with Win XP, the same screen size as the PsiXPDA, a stylus but no mouse (which doesn't matter for us Psion users), a 16GB SSD, a webcam, microphone, microSD card holder, WiFi and Blue tooth and a 5-hour battery. The entire well-working package costs 450 US Dollars. Even with 3G, the short battery life of the PsiXpda renders it useless. It is simply an attempted exploitation of Psion UK loyalty and I, for one, won't (ever) buy it!.

I'm afraid that you are MISSING THE POINT:

The PSIXPDA is the same size as the former PSION S5MX (I just measured it because I still have two of them), which I carried in my pants pocket for years, after carrying the LZ64 then the S3, S3a and the S3c for years and years before the S5mx.

Do you think you will carry in the pocket of your pant a Sony Vaio P which is 9.7 INCHES by 4.8 INCHES versus a PSIXPDA which is only 7 inches by 3.5?

What is the use of buying a “pocket” computer if it does NOT fit in your pocket???

Whatever the price, if it does NOT fit in my pocket, I am not interested. The old PSION S5mx and now the PSIXPDA do fit in my pants side pockets!
