I had written off Psion as a spent force (especially as I thought

their product was rotten, especially when wielded by a Cambridge

graduate) until they teamed up with people like Nokia, Ericsson &

Phillips to form Symbian who are using Psion's EPOC as an OS for

handhelds. As any fule kno, the EPOC OS that runs on the wretched

Psion is much better than Windows CE - but then, so is a poke in they

eye with a sharp stick. The manufacturers of the new class of wireless

mobile devices that are emerging do not want to be in thrall to Bill

Gates.


So, EPOC has a future in being a competitor to Palm & CE. So it's not

all doom and gloom for the UK. Now if they put EPOC into the Dyson

vacuum cleaner they would be onto a world-beater...

The same reasons why people have unashamedly stood up for Pinochet in

public. It's called indifference and it is probably why all these

apolitical Carharrt-wearing dudes I see all over London are going to

grow up to become unthinking unfeeling bank managers.
