Clamshell Sharp Zaurus Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the tasty-morsel dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "The Gadgeteer has a review of the new clamshell-style Sharp Zaurus SL-C700 Linux-based PDA. This new model, currently only officially available in Japan, sports a larger keyboard than the SL-5500 we have in the US, as well as a full 640x480 screen and 400MHz XScale CPU. The review mostly compares it against the HP200. The reviewer got his hands on an 'English version,' made available by Dynamism for a hefty pricetag of USD$700." (See this earlier story for more screenshots from the English conversion of this device.)

    it seems a lot of wear would come to the keys when the PDA is shoved in tiny places.

    I always walk a little funny after doing this.
