New Sharp Zaurus SL-C760/C750 Linux PDAs

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"

Nope, CeBit is a massive marketing wank fest and very little of real substance gets done - you know, little details like 'price' and 'availability' aren't mentioned. They normally manage to keep the engineers away from it, but we conned ourselves some free tickets by using so many buzzwords our boss thought that were merketdroids :o)

I guess you sort of missed OpenZaurus, which addresses all of the concerns you list here? Ah, well, that's okay, you're an AC. :-)

Sorry, but

I'm not buying a PDA until the screens are at least 1024x768. I also want to have a hard drive, 3D acceleration, and have the ability to multitask in different windows. And until you give me a keyboard and mouse, it just won't be a real PDA.
