Talk:Psion 3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that Psion Series 3mx be merged into this article or section.

Agree -- it's essentially the same computer. -- Puffball 13:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Agree -- The 3mx was the last version of the Series 3, it should take its rightful place in the main article. -- lescarleton 15:23, 14 March 2006 (AEDT)

[edit] Psion 3 vs Psion Series 3

I've always heard this handheld referred to as the Psion Series 3, not the Psion 3. Psion Series 3 redirects to this article, but I think this should be swapped, so that the real article title is Psion Series 3 and the redirect goes the other way. Any objections? Pelago 09:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Good idea! -- Puffball 10:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Psion 3aR

Can anyone provide a photograph of a Psion 3aR? There might be a few in Russia. Snowman 09:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Psion 3a localization

The article mentions that the Psion Series 3a was only released with English and Russian localized ROMs. However, I have one with a pre-installed Hungarian localization. Any other information about this?

This is interesting, can you upload a photo of it, for the wiki? I hope that you can show some Hungarian writing on the screen and/or keyboard. Snowman (talk) 15:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Software by Apple?

The article makes the statement "Psion, Apple and third party software was available loaded onto such memory cards which were available as separate packs." I'm not aware of Apple creating any Psion, EPOC or Symbian software, ever. Someone please either correct me or correct the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.63.228.58 (talk) 08:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

I think it should be Acorn - one of the pictures of software packs shows one which has an acorn on it. Snowman 11:36, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Series 3 vs. Pocket Book

According to the article, "Apart from the badging, the hardware and software of the Acorn Pocket Book and the Psion 3 are identical."

It's been a while, but I thought there was a difference in the built-in software. And if you look at the Pocket Book picture, you'll notice that the 'Agenda' and 'Program' (OPL) buttons are missing, replaced with generic 'Key 1' and 'Key 2'.

See, for example, [1].

Does anybody know a good reference that compares the two, or do we need to trawl Usenet for similar threads?  :)
