Sharp Zaurus SL-C750 (P)reviewed

Bill Kendrick writes "Dynamism loaned the Japan-only 'C750' clamshell model Zaurus Linux PDA to the folks over at BargainPDA.com, and they've put up a mini-review, with the promise of a more in-depth review to come soon. The funniest part is they needed to scale down the screenshots to fit on their site."

A great review

Another really good review can be found here. They even mention how it is possible to play ogg's using the Zaurus. It's a good read.

(Although, the server is kinda slow, so give it a few tries.)

Wow, what a ride. I've never trolled before, but man, I never knew the exhileration that it could bring.

I actually was originally intending to post this as an AC, but I was too anxious, and hit the submit button. Heh, this time I am smarter!

Anyways, I was just sitting here, bored when suddenly it hit me. You have all these goatse trolls, tub girl trolls, etc... They are nothing but unoriginal tripe. I figured, why don't the trolls actually come up with something original for once. Why don't they post links that are acually funny, and ironic rather than just offensive. I also know that so many Linux-Zealot "I hate M$!!" losers actually browse slashdot in IE. So, I figured, why not make their browser crash. I mean, if they are such supporters for open source, why are they not browsing under mozilla?

This was orignally funny because I actually got modded up to +5 informative, with 100% moderations as informative. Then, it slowly went down. But then, to my surprise, it made a short comeback when it hit +1, it got an additional +1 informative moderation. I mean, come on moderators! Then, it finally made its way down to -1 troll, its final resting place.

Of corse, if the moderators were browsing in mozilla, they wouldn't have had any crashes, and I shouldn't have been moderated down. I mean, this being slasdot, you would think that this would get modded up as funny because all of us mozilla users would have been smug in our knowing that all of those 'IE losers' were going to get crashed. But no, that was not the case. And the reason is simple: slashdot is the embodiment of hipocracy.

I would get one now that...

The SLC-760 sucks. Sorry, but it sucks. I bought one at first sight, and got some use out of it, but it's battery life is horrendous (using a PHS device to use the 'net I get an hour and a half -- 1.5 hours on a PDA!), and usable memory is so small it's laughable. This problem was alleviated somewhat by getting a sdram card and adding a swapfile, but that makes things really slow. It was also really overpriced (cost me around 80,000 yen for the unit, a CF network card, a 256 Mb SDRAM chip, and a PHS wireless card).

It was nice to finally be able to read Slashdot during my train commute, and more importantly, to give me something to read on the shitter, but when the beautiful Panasonic W2 (http://www.dynamism.com/w2/index.shtml) came out a couple of weeks ago I snapped one up (I got it direct from Panasonic with a 60 Gb drive and 512 Mb of RAM), and my SLC-760 is sitting unused, collecting dust. I only wish I could sell it and get even HALF of what I paid for it just a couple of months ago. :(

Let me get this straight...

Yet another review of a product that few will ever see has been performed!? WOW! I can't wait to never be able to by this one! >
