The Psion netBook is a small subnotebook type computer developed by Psion. Released in 1999, it was aimed at the mobile enterprise market.[1]

Description

Similar in design to the later, consumer-oriented Psion Series 7, the netBook has a clamshell design, a VGA-resolution touch-sensitive colour screen, 32 MB RAM, 190 MHz StrongARM SA-1100 processor and a QWERTY keyboard. The RAM is upgradeable through the addition of an extra 32 MB chip. The netBook is powered by a removable lithium-ion rechargeable battery, giving a battery life of between 8 and 10 hours.

The netBook runs the EPOC ER5 operating system (the predecessor of SymbianOS). Unlike the Psion Series 7, the netBook operating system runs from RAM. A Java run-time environment, conforming to Java version 1.1.8, is available.{{Fact|date=March 2007}}

In October 2003 Psion Teklogix announced the NETBOOK PRO, replacing the original netBook. This was similar to the earlier model, but upgraded with a 16-bit colour SVGA (800 × 600 pixel) display, 128 MB of RAM, and a 400 MHz Intel XScale PXA255 processor running Windows CE .NET 4.2 instead of EPOC.[2] It is also possible to run Linux on this model.[3]

An open-source project OpenPsion, formerly PsiLinux, aims to port Linux to the Psion netBook and other Psion PDAs.[4]

The "Netbook" trademark

Psion registered the trademark NETBOOK in various territories, including European Union {{Community trademark|000428250}} and {{US trademark|75215401}}, which was applied for on 18 December 1996 and registered by USPTO on 21 November 2000. They used this trademark[5] for the netBook product, discontinued in November 2003,[6] and from October 2003, the NETBOOK PRO, later also discontinued.[7]

Intel began use of the term netbook in March 2008 as a generic term to describe "small laptops that are designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet", believing they were "not offering a branded line of computers here" and "see no naming conflict".[8]

In response to the growing use of this term, on 23 December 2008 Psion Teklogix sent cease and desist letters[9] to various parties including enthusiast website(s) demanding they no longer use the term "netbook".[10][11]

During the twelve years since Psion first lodged the original netbook trademark, the term had become perceived as sufficiently generic that later derivative marks were rejected by the USPTO citing a "likelihood of confusion" under section 2(d), including "G NETBOOK" ({{US trademark|77527311}} rejected 31 October 2008), MSI's "WIND NETBOOK" ({{US trademark|77580272}}) and Coby Electronics' "COBY NETBOOK" ({{US trademark|77590174}} rejected 13 January 2009).
