Sharp C-700 English Conversion Pictures

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the me-likee-the-handhelds dept.

BoogerBoy writes "When Sharp announced their clamshell designed C-700 only in Japan I cried. Not anymore. It seems that only a week after its Japan release, the C-700 has been converted to English and for sale. Check out the pictures and brief English review."

    Looks like an HP Omnigo from several years back.

  2. it also works as a netowrk monitoring tool by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Informative

    I see that most of you all thing of PDA as only a note taking, appointment scheduling and multimedia (mp3) stuff tool. Cant blame you what with the current crop of Sony clies, Palms, and PocketPC atht allow you only so much and nothing more.

    Well the Zaurus first of all is a Handheld - not a PDA - clear distinction there.

    And to talk of the tools, you can remotely SSH into it, use it as a network too, demo (note I said demo, not use, so dont flame me there) Apache with PHP pages (even MySQL databse) on it to client on the move, SAMBA to Linux/Windows machines for tuning/Administering etc, use for VoIP long distance from a decent internet conncetion location, of course check your emails and all that regular stuff, do a full fledged internet browsing using Opera/Netfront (not your palm web-clipped stuff here), tenet into your university unix box and fetch your emails etc or lab notes...

    I could tell you some more such PRACTICAL apps which the Zaurus provides and it IS a lot more carryable than lugging around the laptop - you got to agree to that.

  3. Sharp bringing to US 2003q1, lots more story links by MMHere · · Score: 2, Informative
    According to this story in PC World, Sharp plans to show it at the January Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and bring it to the U.S. for sale in Q1 of 2003.

    Here are some other useful SL-C700 links I've found in the last week or so:

    MobileNews article with LOTSA pix (in Japanese, but the pix are easy to see).

    Here is a mobigeeks blurb (with several off-links to other interesting places, also a forum).

    About a quarter of the way down this page, there are some good closeup pix.

    Here is an nvmax.com article, describing Dynamism's efforts, and several other off-links.

    Here is Sharp's own page, also in Japanese, but has a couple of decent pix.

    Here's a German article, with a good description of the specs.
