The Gadgeteer Reviews the Zaurus SL-C760
Posted by Janak Parekh in "THE COMPETITION" @ 06:30 PM
Sharp has been busy updating their 640x480, keyboard-integrated swiveling handheld -- and they've released a new version with 128MB of RAM in Japan. A guest reviewer at The Gadgeteer takes a look, and likes what he sees.
In some ways, so do I. The obligatory high resolution, plus the memory and the landscape keyboard make for a very solid mini-laptop combo in something that's just a little larger than most Pocket PCs. Unfortunately, it has been only released in Japan, and getting an English version is dicey (and/or not cheap). I'd like to see Sharp release it here to give Pocket PCs (and Sony, for that matter) a run for their money. Does anyone have tips on how to convince Samsung and Sharp to release their hi-res PDAs here more quickly? ;)
