[sclug] Sharp SL-5500 Zaurus i

[Jonathan H N Chin]

> Is any one using one ?

A visitor here has the SL-C760. Despite the impression one gets
from pictures it is no bigger than a Palm III, although heavier.
The keyboard feels very nice and it has a wonderful screen.

Unfortunately, as appears to be the norm these days, the on/off
button is left exposed when the case is shut. Also, as usual,
although it docks using USB, it uses a non-standard connector.
Bleah.

www.shirtpocket.co.uk is advertising its replacement, the C860,
for #565 incl VAT.

Expensive, but *so* tempting.
