Description

Psion PLC, a manufacturer of mobile computers and hand-held devices for offices, is to cut 200 jobs in the UK by the end of 2008. The job losses reflect falling demand; the number of orders has declined while companies postpone IT projects. As of November 2008 there is no further information on the job cuts.
