The Register: “Psion announced today it will sack 250 staff in a shake-up of Psion Digital, after
disappointing handheld and phone sales. It will also put back the Bluetooth products
it said it would launch this year to next year, due to slow take-up.

The mobile computer company will concentrate from now on on big business,
next-gen digital appliances and Symbian products – running away from the
competitive and difficult consumer market. More corporate changes are expected in
the future.”
