Eye on the prize

Electronics Times, July 27, 1998

Psion's Series 5, already selected as a millennium product, to go on show in the Dome at Greenwich, has been shortlisted for Britain's premier prize for engineering: the Royal Academy of Engineering's MacRobert Award.

The award is given annually for outstanding innovation of benefit to the community, and recognises the successful development and exploitation of outstanding advances in engineering.

The Series 5 is the only electronics product in the shortlist which includes a bridge, an inhaler and a diesel engine.

Psion has already won praise for its innovative design, including a novel pop-up keyboard and a hinge design which prevents the PDA from tipping over when the user is working with the touch-sensitive screen.
