Review of the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500

Gothmolly writes "After reading the story and comments on Slashdot, I went out and bought one from the Home Shopping Network. It's been a very fun and interesting jump into both the modern PDA (I owned the original Palm until this year) embedded Linux worlds. I've written a review about my experiences over the last few days with it. A lot of this information I found online, a lot is personal experience. HSN is now out of them, but they must still be available cheaply somewhere."

  1. Re:A terrorist weapon if I've ever seen one! by fdawg · · Score: 0, Troll

    You are the same kind of Soccer Mom, Flake, uninformed, nazi, biggot that I encounter daily driving in the left lane in a mini-van going 10 under the speed limit.

    Terrorists are terrorists because they use TECHONOLOGY against you. Then again we "free" denizens of this fair country depend on TECHNOLOGY to protect us.

    Its thinking like this that slows down innovation. How you've been modded to 3 blows my mind. I sometimes wonder if "Moderator" is just a code word for "uninformed".

    If one was to actually believe you, then one would also be able to argue that cars should be abolished, the toaster can be used for biological warfare and should be outlawed, and that lawncare should be handed over soley to the government for fear of the misuse of fertilizer.

    If i were you, Id get to the point and stick my head in the sand. You are probably better off that way and the world at large would thank you. Not to mention you'd be safe if the sky fell.
