New Zaurus Linux PDA Available In the U.S.

Posted by simoniker on from the sneaking-out dept.

pdawerks writes "The Sharp Zaurus SL-6000L handheld, which runs Linux in the Trolltech's Qtopia environment, has finally made it to the U.S. at a pricepoint of $699, according to a PDALive.com article. It has a 4-inch 480 x 640 CG Silicon reflective screen that is much larger than the one in the 5x00 models, and the screen supports rotation on the fly (portrait and landscape modes). Sharp has also incorporated a sliding thumb keyboard into this model."

      Nope.

      The last "real" story is that Slashdot was Slashdotted before this story was posted.

    I'm kind of curious to see what the Slashot crowd thinks of the 1GB GMail thing. I personally think it sounds a little suspicious, but what do the rest of you think:

    Google GMail 1GB per Account?

    True
    Hoax
    Not Sure

    I guess we'll all know for sure tomorrow...
