News: The Zaurus SL-5500

Friday, February 01, 2002 - 04:40 PM, (1519 Reads)

Not really RISC OS, but...

On ZDnet there's a bit of Info about this at LinuxWorld.

A colour screen, a 206MHz Intel StrongARM processor, a tiny pull-out keyboard, rechargeable batteries, CompactFlash and Secure Digital expansion slots, and 64MB of memory

I wonder if it would run RISC OS? Oh! Wait! That's RON isn't it!

The Zaurus SL-5500 -- with a colour screen, a 206MHz Intel StrongARM processor, a tiny pull-out keyboard, rechargeable batteries, CompactFlash and Secure Digital expansion slots, and 64MB of memory -- is expected to go on sale in March for $550, said Randy Dazo, director of marketing for Sharp's mobile and information technology solutions group.

At the show, Sharp is selling for $399 the SL-5000 developer version -- the same as the 5500 except that it has only 32MB of memory

The Zaurus can synch with Microsoft Outlook and accepts add-ons for wireless networking, digital cameras, video cameras and cellular modems. The company is aiming the handheld at corporate types on the road and enthusiasts with high-end tastes. Apparently, some have already been convinced.

Sounds lovely. I suppose that part of the trouble with it would be that it would not run anything that I'm used to power-using. I think the RiscStation laptop will have to do :)

Found a flash based picture etc. Don't know if it will work on RISC OS unfortunately.
