Hi Jim,

I would be very happy to trade 1 or even 2 Psion 5MX (or Ericsson MC218) for your MalayBooks.
Please send me an email so we can setup this trade?

Many Psiongreetings,

Richard van Stappershoef

re:  MBook for 5mx

I have two MalayBooks, two 5mx, and 2 Tungsten C (one actually is my
wife's).

I find the only thing I'm using the MBooks for is some daily
maintenance on my Earthlink account which I could be doing with my
desktop or my 5mx.  I do it with the MBooks to make sure they stay
charged (best solution for the OS problem).

I am realizing how important the 5mx is for me and how not so the
MBook.  It's just too large to fit in my pocket.

Anyone out there who has a 5mx they wish to trade for an MBook.

I also have two card modems and one WIFI card (for the MBooks) that I
would trade for a travel modem.

I've settled in fairly well with the 5mx and Tungsten C combination.
The C for ebooks email and solitaire, and the 5mx for everything else.

I would be willing to trade a travel modem for the other modems and the wifi card.  I may even be willing to trade the 5mx for the Mbook too.  Sorry to use Digest space but there was no email address.  TG

Dear former Psion colleagues!

Since my last Psion (5mx pro) quit working, I am to leave the Epoc platform now. I want to express my thanks to this outstanding community for sharing knowledge for the last years. I will miss a peer group like this.
I have not found a satisfactory replacement for my Psion, but I can get one of these Windows mobile pocket pc phone edition (wow what a name) devices from my mobile phone operator pretty cheap. If there only was a digest like this?

Thanks & All the best!
Regards,
Christian Roth.

Subject: PC Equivalent of PowerData or SmallBase

I have quite a few databases in both PowerData and SmallBase on my Nokia 9500.  Does anyone know of a small, fast and cheap (preferably freeware) PC equivalent which offers similar facilities to the Powerdata and SmallBase apps on the 9500.

Many thanks,
Martin O'Neill

Hi Everyone and thanks for the comments,

As a sailing instructor, and now running my own business, the main functions I need my PDA to do are :-

Email on the move via mobile phone as modem (possibly occasionally Wi-Fi)

Internet on the move as above to check up on weather forecasts

Ability to update content and FTP to the websites I run

Ability to act as a store for my photos taken while away - when I am on trips upto three weeks long, I can take LOTS of photos :)

MP3 player to save carrying another gadget!

Ability to open PDF, Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents.

Ability to write in the above formats

12V power option - removable rechargaeables as an option would be great

USB and Bluetooth connectivity (with Wi-Fi possibly later)


It sounds like the CL-1000 could well serve my purposes from what I have found so far. While I used my Psion 5mx for years, I am really unsure about re-starting with it when it is no longer being developed.

It looks like I will have to wait until I get back off my next trip before I get to explore any further, but in the meantime, if any of you have any experience of the other versions of Linux, and any software you can recommend, feel free to drop me a line direct.

Cheers for now,

John
