[comp.sys.laptops] Where's the successor to Cambridge Z88?

The Z88 is a really great machine for a certain narrow domain
of use. Does anyone know of any plans for the 'next Z88?'

You could look at the Psion MC-series machines. They're very lightweight,
with a full-size keyboard, GUI with touchpad control, Microsoft/Lotus
standard memory cards, and a larger screen than the Z88. Batteries last a
long time, too.

I gather that they'll run Organiser software written in OPL, and that they
have their own extended version of OPL for application programming.
