- The Psion Series 3 machine costs about twice as much as the HP95LX here
- in Australia, but I understand that this relative pricing is reversed
- in other parts of the world. Indeed, I noticed in "Laptops Magazine"
- this morning that the Psion is half the price of the HP in the USA.
-
- What is going on?
-
- It would be nice to hear from some one at HP and/or Psion, or their
- distributors, just how these relativities are justified!
-
- I think the Psion is a nicer field unit than the HP (if only they could
- fix the problem with the application keys!), but we can't justify buying
- them at the price here in Oz unfortunately.
-
- Would some one who actually *knows* care to comment, please? Thanks.
