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"

The Zaurus Sucks by boxhead609 · 2003-05-18 01:58 · Score: 1, Redundant

I was at Java One in 2002 and got sucked into buying one of these things. I haven't used it since. I did some wardriving with its wireless card and Kismet, but found that the wireless card was unstable... and I would have to reboot Kismet every 5 minutes. Thus, the wardriving option was out. After that, I never found a good use for it. I would prefer a full fledged laptop compared to something marginally functional as this.
