Sharp C-700 English Conversion Pictures

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."

If it only had more memory ...

(Both RAM and hard drive space, that is.)

This would be great on airplanes / in the car / anywhere a full-size laptop is overkill or just awkward.

However, as the review here points out, it doesn't have much storage space of either variety. I guess the ideal I'm hankering for would be something like this Zaurus (small, protected screen, built-in QWERTY keyboard) and the yet-unreleased OQO.

*Even* if it was only used as a small gaming / music / movie machine (a tiny all-media device), it would be very nice, if only there was more room on there. That it's also a nice computer for other things, even better -- if there was more room :)

(And Yes, microdrives can carry a fair amount, but a) they're quote expensive and b) maybe the bad apples get more news, but there seem to be a lot of complaints re: reliability. An ipod-size 10 or 20GB drive, that would be something, could carry several movies, days worth of audio, important files you don't want lost when the burglars invade your unoccupied home, etc.)
