Sharp announces new Zaurus models
Like Infosync (see title link) reports, Sharp announces two new Zaurus
models. The SL 5600 (B500 in Japan) for the USA and Japan and the
C700 for Japan only. There is nothing said about an availability in Germany.
The model SL 5600 is a further developed SL5500. A comparisation of the technical dates is to obtain from
linux devices.
The SL5600 contains with the XScale 400 MHz a faster processor,
a stronger accu and an updated software suite (e. g.
newer Linux kernel, Opera6). Furthermore the SL 5600 has a lot more (64 MB instead of 16 MB) Flash memory than the SL 5500. This will be used now with the SL 5600 for installing additional programs and to save data. So programs and data won't be lost even the accu runs empty.
The original press announcement by Sharp about the SL 5600 is to get
here.
This even shows that the Jeode Java System by Insignia will be used and not the Java implementation of he Amiga partner TAO.
At Golem there is the article
reworked Linux-PDA Sharp Zaurus introduced in the USA to read.
