[SLUG] Palm Zire vs Psion Revo

2003-02-10 Thread Adam Hewitt
Does anyone have any recommendations, good and bad points, linux
compatibility (obviously the Zire is compatible from Graemes' recent
post)...

I was going to buy a Zire today, but my dealer has offered me the Revo
for the same price...

I don't think they actually make the Revo anymore, go to there website and check
- I think it may be old stock only. Also my Revo broke after 4 months, but then
I was fairly rough with it.

The Revo is definitely on their website, and is still being sold
throughout australia. They have, however, brought out the Revo Plus
which is the advanced model...

I have a Revo and it's a great machine.  My wife has one too.  She is
more gentle than I am, and her Revo has lasted 3 years now without
problem.  Mine had a battery recharge problem, but I had it fixed,
though while it was being fixed I got withdrawl symptoms and bought a
Revo Plus, so now I have a spare Revo (which I'll hang onto).

I have not got synching working with my Linux boxes, mainly because I'm
lazy.  Has anyone on the list got a Revo to synch with a Linux app?

Anyway, it is true that Psion have stopped design work on new models,
but AFAIK they are still making, shipping and supporting the Revo [+].
