Re: [openpsion] Gemini PDA

[Noth <no...@gm...>]

Hi,

Im sure there are quite a fel people still on the list :-).

I still have my Ericsson branded psion 5mx too, but haven't done anything
with it in years.

That pda looks kind of cool but I want to wait until someone has hands on
experience of it before I decide to buy, many indiegogo devices ended up
either not launching or being gimped, so you never really know.

Regards,
Jesse
