Psion Pupsi edition 2010

[busted5mx]

I've searched the forums and I don't find a mention of this... On the Pulster.de site under "Sammeln&Seltenes" there is an item called "Psion Pupsi edition 2010." The description, run through a web translator, is thus:

"A new star is fount: We have a Communicator with series 5 in our secret laboratories poppen to leave. A genious came out: brilliantes color display as netbook, full Handyfunktionalitaet such as Nokia 9210, good keyboard such as series of 5. The whole in a ultraflachen, durable, but nevertheless light housing. Akkulaufzeit approx. 250 hours! We had unfortunately very high development costs, therefore ask we the price to excuse.

Price: EUR 10000.00"

When I saw that price I assumed it was a joke. Is that thing real? As attractive as it is, would anybody really pay 10000 euro for it?

Hi!


It's a joke, but it was a wooden Psion prototype in the times of the Psion-Motorola joint venture.
Motorola should build with Odin the more phone centric smartphone, Psion with Thor a more data centric one with a keyboard - a crossing between Communicator and revo, but in color.

But, as said before, it was only wood - and so Pulsters item tests only the geekiness of his shoppers... ;-)

Odin was seen in the wilderness - as you can see here at Portal-PDA (http://www.portal-pda.com/graveyard/grave6.html)

Thor was shown on CeBIT 2000 (report courtesy PsionWelt.net) (http://www.psionwelt.de/cebit00/cebit00.htm)
