i4u writes "Sharp announces new models of their Zaurus PDA line. The new models are the SL-C760 (launch date: June 21, 2003) and the SL-C750 (launch date: May 24, 2003). The new PDAs have a faster CPU, more memory and feature a bigger Screen (VGA 640x480) than the former SLC-700 model. The start speed of applications improved to about twice (compared to the SL-C700) by adopting the Intel XScaleTM PXA255 400MHz CPU. Connectivty is possible via Wireless Lan and FOMA broadband wireless phones. The installed software contains also an MP4 Player for Movies. Nice for business users is the ability to connect the Zaurus to a projector (800x600) and present MS PowerPoint Slides. Photos and English translation of Press-Release available on I4U.com"

You really should put a space and properly capitalize Win CE...I had to read it like 3 times before I figured it out, I had no idea what the fuck you were talking about!

Umm, no software reviews? by Moderation+abuser · 2003-05-18 10:30 · Score: 0, Flamebait

All the reviews I've seen for the Zaurus machines focus primarily on the hardware, which is nice, but it's telling.

Telling because the stock applications are shite. The wordprocessor is shite, the spreadsheet is shite, the power point presenter is shite, the agenda is shite, the media player is shite and the todo list is shite.

Oh, I have an SL-5500, and a Psion, so I know what could have been done with the hardware spec of the Zaurus and some half decent developers.

It gets a low D from me. Could have done a fuck of a lot better.
