Sharp To Ship New HD-equipped Zaurus In Japan
ctid writes "On 10th November, Sharp will release its new Zaurus PDA. The SL-C3000 includes a 4GB hard drive, a 416MHz Intel XScale PXA270 CPU and 64MB of RAM. All of that in a package weighing 298g! There is no news as to whether Sharp will release this ludicrously desirable toy in the West, but I'm not hopeful personally. Maybe we can rely on suppliers like dynamism.com (in the USA) or shirtpocket.co.uk (in the UK) to help us out?"
Nice bit of free advertising there.
No wonder they can charge $2500-$3500 for laptops that cost around $1500 in Japan.
$1000 is a pretty sweet profit margin for "install a US keyboard".
Please help metamoderate.
