The Psion 5 has several built-in applications. They use their own file
formats to save data files. Psion has written file conversion
utilities for Windows 95, in the form of their PsiWin program. But
there are no conversion utilities for other operating systems. Also,
Psion is not able to or does not want to release enough data for
others to write their own conversion programs. At least, that is what
I have gathered through the newsgroups and from other sources.
I have reverse engineered some of the Psion document formats, and have
written a small conversion utility for some of them. I release the
data format information to the public domain; the conversion utility
is licensed by the GNU General Public License, which allows anyone to
use it freely. Both are still being updated and refined.
The Psion 5MX uses mostly the same file formats as the Psion 5; the
conversion utilities seem to work, though you might get a few
additional warnings. I own a 5MX myself now, so this will
improve. Other Psion PDA's might be supported too, and even other
machines running EPOC32. The Psion Series 3 use EPOC16, and are not
supported.
