Psion is dead. At least their handhelds are dead. The company has officially
announced that it is stopping its handheld series.

At this time there are only 2 serious competitors left:
* The PalmOS computers (sold by several well known companies including 3com,
Sony, Handspring, IBM and others). There must be between 15 and 20 millions
PalmOS computers in the world.
* The PocketPC computers (with a much smaller market share, but which will maybe
grow in the future).
