@amoroso @smallsolar They did! Sometimes just the OS, other times as rebadged machines. Psion licensed EPOC32 to two three companies - Geofox for the Geofox 1, and Oregon Scientific for the Osaris. EDIT: They also licensed it to Ericsson for the R380 (thank you to @aslakr for pointing this out). As far as I know, Psion never licensed EPOC16 to anyone else. But they did allow a few machines to be rebadged by other companies. For example: Acorn Pocket Book (Psion Series 3)Acorn Pocket Book II (Psion Series 3a)Xemplar Pocket Book 3 (Psion Series 3c, so rare that I've never seen one for sale)Ericsson MC218 (Psion Series 5mx with some small improvements)Diamond Mako (Psion Revo Plus) I'm sure there were others, too, but I can't remember them. There were also custom versions of the 3a that still had the Psion logo but were also branded with other companies, such as the Prudential Insurance Company.
