The rise in share price to £3.80 signals a dramatic turnaround for Psion which had seen its shares tumble since it made an abortive attempt to buy Amstrad last year and later warned analysts of weaker than expected performance.

Pre-tax profits had fallen by 38 per cent year-on-year from £6.51m to £4.05m for the six months to June 30, while turnover increased to £64.4m from £53.7m. The company also reported a 33 per cent increase in international sales.

Demand for the Series 5 has outstripped Psion's ability to deliver the product and could force the company to outsource some production.

Could it be that ISP’s are making this out to be a bigger problem than it actually is? We’re a small country with an internet penetration of less than 60%, for every Youtuber there’s someone who only uses the internet to check their emails, more people surf on their mobile handsets than a few years ago. Surely things should even themselves up.
