Psion Series 7
On Sunday I won a Psion Series 7 computer on eBay, for a cool £187, including postage and packing. This also included a leather case, and a Psion Gold Card (a multi-function card, including a 56k modem). Here it is, as illustrated on eBay.
I’ve spent the last couple of hours installing software on it, including a wonderful application called EPOCSync which allows me to synchronize my Series 5mx with my new Series 7 via IRDA (InfraRed)! Very many thanks to Bernard for that tip.
Also installed this evening were
- PocketChess for EPOC (Freeware)
- MahJongg v.1.21 (Registered) by Adrian Collister
- Opera 5.14 for EPOC (Shareware)
- psiMind (Freeware) — a mindmapper application
- PDF+ (Registered) — for viewing PDF files, including the Series 7 manual
- Street ‘99 (Commercial) with the entire map of Edinburgh.
- EPOC Text Editor, v.1.41 (049)
Still much to install (hoorah for Compact Flash cards!). I have a 256MB and a 64MB card.
I’ll write more about it later. Must get to bed now.

Pedant’s corner - you didn’t ‘win’ it, you were willing to pay more than anyone else for it. That’s not winning, it’s shopping…

terms to ease the conscience…
Just been reading a blog entry by the lovely gareth, in which he refers to ‘winning’ an ebay auction. Ebay themselves use the term on the page after the auction…

From my notification email from eBay:
I’m a winner. And so are you!

I thought the shopping comment was funny. Enjoy the Psion - I had about three of the older models during my PDA craze phase.
