But a big part of what was great about the Psion was the software, and the Gemini doesn't really have any[1] of that; it just runs Android with some small tweaks.

And didn't they build it on a SoC that was already EOL at launch, for which there are no FOSS drivers, meaning it will be forever stuck on an ancient kernel version[2]? I don't want to spend my money on a machine that will have be to thrown away in a year for lack of security updates. (Which is why I'm backing the Librem 5 instead, even though I loved the Psion series 3a and series 5 and would really like a keyboard.)

[1] Well, they have implemented Android incarnations of the calendar and database apps, which is something at least: https://planetcom.squarespace.com/software-1

[2] Their Android 8 update seems to use Linux 3.18, released in 2014: https://github.com/dguidipc/gemini-android-kernel-3.18-andro...
