Good Points

Intergrated WAP and Web browser. 16Mb of ROM. 36Mhz processer. Intergrated programs such as word, data, jotter stylish case and pin sharp screen. Built in infa-red port. Docking with PC or printers is made faster by using an RS232 port with an exchange rate of 115kbps. A QUERTY rubber keyboard. Overall size of 157 x 79 x 17mm makes it easy to fit in a small pocket. Weight is just 200g.


Bad Points

The battery life is questionable with only around 14 hours of use. It occasionally crashes during infa-red transmission.


General Comments

The Psion revoplus is a very good choice for someone considering buying their fist Palmtop who intends to use it for internet use. The Intergrated WAP and Web browser makes it a lot easier to use to go virtually straight onto the internet rather than installing the web browsing software off the Psiwin disk. The 16mb of ROM means that you can add more and more software and not be worried about taking up space on your disk. The 36Mhz processer means that you can run a variety of programs that need fast processing to run properly. The intergrated programs such as word, data, jotter and all the other programs mean that using the revoplus at work or at home will be no challenge! The programs can handle anything you throw at them!!! The stylish case and pin sharp screen make it even more desirable. The built in infa-red port makes it very easy to communicate with other Psion machines e.g Series 5/5mx Series 7, compatible infa-red printers, and other perhiperals such as the Psion 56k infa-red travel modem. Docking with PC or printers is made faster by using an RS232 port with an exchange rate of 115kbps. A QUERTY rubber keyboard improves typing speed. With a weight of just 200g it won't be another palmtop which just tries to weigh down your shirt!
