Psion April Fool's Joke?

Even our favorite Palm Addict site seems to be getting into the spirit with a good one! This Psion post claiming
Quote:
the new Series 6 style Omega Wireless will be announced in London on Monday
It's a shame that it's an April fools item -- I'd love to hear they are going to start making Palm or PPC based devices, or even a Symbian clamshell!

He almost got me believing, but there are too many reasons to doubt...
1) The diagram looks suspiciously like one of the fabulous Mike Rhode sketches! He's got a great blog, and it will be worth your while to take a look at some sketches.
2) Psion is just now closing off consumer support
Quote:
As of the 1st March 2005 Psion no longer offers telephone or email support for their consumer products. This is a result of the announcement Psion made in July 2001, which stated that we would be withdrawing from the consumer handheld computer market.
3) Submitted by Bill Williams - who names their kid "William Williams"? (If I'm off base on this one, I've got some apologies to make to Willy!)
Anyway, I guess he'll let us in on the gag Monday. Even wishful thinking is not enough to make this one real!
