Loved my psion5 if I could get it talking to modern windows or Linux I'd probably still use it. Awesome little machine.
PlanetComputers Gemini is a pretty close modern day replica made by the same engineers who put their experience into creating the Psion 5.
Quite pricey for a somewhat limited by today's standards smartphone if you ask me, but still available on Ebay.

And yes, it can run Ubuntu.
I understood that software support on the Gemini is a bit…lacking. As in, support isn’t in the mainline kernel and hasn’t been kept up to date. Happy to be corrected, though
