I don't think so

Graphics should be full-screen/window-size, i think
I think the original window-layout was not bad for PDAs. Anyhow, if you make
a configurable design I will optimize it for the Psion:

Pseudo-code:

if( System.getMachine() == PSION )
then place window CENTER
else place window EAST

or something like this. Maybe you can try with a screen-resolution of
320x240 (!) and you will see if the design is usable. For me that's the
essential point: Usability on the target-machine. Not a special
layout-manager.
