IFA: Allrounder: Sharp Personal Mobile Tool SL-5000
»The Japanese Sharp company will introduce their new pocket sized Personal Mobile Tool SL-5000
on the IFA 2001. The most important tools of this little allrounder are web-browsers, mobile phone,
e-mail, and a MP3 player. Quick operation of any business task is guaranteed by the 206 MHz Intel
StrongARM processor, 32 MB SDRAM for memory, as well as the operating system Linux OS (kernel 3.4).
The users are forced to access the in many cases unfamiliar display keyboard, since below the operating front,
which can be pulled off, there is a QWERTZ keyboard. Operating time basically is not limited, the different
battery packs can be recharged separately. The SL-5000 can be extended with SD or multimedia cards and
compact flash memory cards. Even a video camera module can be connected to it. But the Personal Mobile Tool
was not made for business purposes only: The cooperation with Amiga Inc. and their wide range of games
make it a small games machine. The device is said to be available at the vendor's from December.« (ps) (Translation: mj)
