Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 mini-reviewed

Colin Dunstan · 11-17-2004, 03:58 AM

French Akihabara News has a small mini-review (with a lot of images) of the new Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000. As a Linux-based PDA, the Zaurus stands out among the PDA crowd, and it looks like a good alternative for those who want to switch from Palm OS to something else but aren't quite ready yet for Windows Mobile

The reviewer appears to like the new Zaurus, and is only complaining about lack of connectivitiy (no BT or WiFi) and lack of USB2.

If you are not fluent in French, you can try the Altavista-translated version.

Why is Sharp not trying to promote its Zaurus line more? Is it because of marketing and distribution costs? I have never even had a chance to see a Zaurus in real-life.
