Sharp VGA Handhelds
A report in Brighthand notes Sharp's recent announcement of the Linux-based Zaurus SL-6000 PDA, to be released early in 2004.
The SL-6000 sports a new 640x480 transflective VGA display - switchable from landscape to portrait. Coming hot on the heels of the Toshiba e805 Pocket PC device, the new Zaurus PDA underlines the new era of VGA-enabled handhelds.
Other specs include an Intel XScale 400MHz processor, 64MB Flash, 64MB of SDRAM, SD/MMC expansion slot, and a rechargeable, replaceable 1500-mAh Lithium polymer battery. Built-in wireless 802.11b capability, a speaker and microphone, a built-in keyboard and a ruggedized case complete the physical specs.
