1. About this HOWTO
1.1 Introduction
Psion has been making PDA's for years. This document will concentrate on the Series 5* models, e.g. Series 5, Series 5mx and Series 5mx PRO and the 32 bit EPOC operating system they come with, but there will be some crossover to older models such as the Series 3* and newer models such as the Series 7. There is also a little information about other series at the end of this document.
