I didn't find the today's news on the web, but found this article at Silicon Strategy and this one at Electronics times, which was written a few days ago to announce it."

  1. I just bought a brand new Z80 product... by Wraithlyn · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    ...the Sharp Wizard OZ-770PC. It's amazing! 3MB of flash ram, qwerty keyboard, proportional fonts, you can code in raw Z80 assembler for it, plus they have versions of C and BASIC for it. Tons of user written programs on the net. (MyWizard.com and many other sites) Best $100 I ever spent. I much prefer this design to a Palm-style tablet. Here is a good picture.

    And no, I am not affiliated with Sharp or Amazon ;)
