Ever been on your way to a meeting and realized there are typoson the presentation you're about to deliver to a prospectiveclient? Psion's Revo allows you to read and edit Microsoft Wordand Excel files while on the go as well as print via an infraredtransfer. Its spiffy design holds 8MB RAM, an EPOC operating systemand a 36MHz RISC processor- bad for a handheld. Its PsiWin2.3 software converts Psion files to Windows and vice-versa, and adocking station connects to a PC, allowing synchronization ofe-mail and calendar items. The 2.5-by-5-inch screen and 16-shademonochrome display offer a sharp image and 480 x 160 resolution,but no backlight makes input in low light unlikely. Minimumrequirements include a 30MB hard drive and Windows 95/98/NT.Although it has no internal modem, the Psion can make infraredconnection to data-capable phones, and an optional travel modem isavailable. Revo's lithium ion batteries will give you enoughjuice to be on the road for two weeks between charges.
