Much of the software is even freeware or shareware. This one really surprised me. I am still using the two AA batteries that came with the unit. This was a very nice way for me to be able to really try out the built-in applications before I purchased the machine.

While not as robust as its PC counterpart, Psion does provide an optional Mac connection package. It includes the cable adapter and software for performing backups, installing software, and even mounting the Psion 'disks' on the desktop for complete finder integration.

You can, however, download freeware macro programs that offer this functionality.
