  The Gadgeteer - Sharp Zaurus SL-C3100
This is partially because the Zaurus offers a form-factor that doesn't exist in any other PDA, but the main reason is that Sharp decided to scrap their proprietary OS and adopt Linux.
The Zaurus has a mini USB port which can be used to connect to a PC, allowing you to access the files on the microdrive and on other memory cards.
The Zaurus comes with a combination application launcher and file manager that is accessed by pressing the "Home" key on the keyboard (or the silkscreen button to the right of the screen).

 Sharp Zaurus SL-C860, Linux PDA Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
While the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 and 5600 models, which have a traditional PDA shape and are sold in the US have enjoyed limited success here, the C series would likely sell quite well.
The keyboard on the Zaurus is better, though the keys on the UX light up which is handy for those who type in dark environments.
Some free Zaurus apps require more technical knowledge: you sometimes have to figure out dependancies (which other packages are required for your app to run) and visit the command line to configure or in some cases run the app.

 Sharp Zaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zaurus was the most popular PDA during the 1990s in Japan and was based on a proprietary operating system.
Sharp has continued development of the SL series in Japan releasing the SL-C700, C750, C760 and C860 models which all feature 640x480 VGA screen resolution.
Developers have created replacement Linux distributions for the Zaurus, one of which is OpenZaurus, which uses the OPIE or GPE graphical user interfaces and is designed for the power user.

 Sharp Zaurus SL-3000, SL-C3100 and SL-C1000, Linux PDA Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
The Zaurus C series models are only sold in Japan, but reputable importers such as Dynamism, who supplied our review unit, sell them in the US and to folks in other countries.
The SL-6000 was the last Zaurus sold in the US, but it's much larger and has a traditional slate form factor with an integrated thumb keyboard.
Sharp replaced the C860's four arrow keys with a round directional pad that's a pleasure to use.

 Mobile-review.com Review Sharp Zaurus C700
Sharp SL-C700 is more similar to tiny laptop - you expect to see the habitual Windows interface on the screen (forgive me, advanced Linux users and admirers).
In principle it is pleasant, that Sharp has taken care of the users, having made the battery demountable, in fact lithium-ionic accumulators do not work more than 2-3 years, it doesn't matter how you use them.
The screen lights milky-white color, Zaurus logo and other inscriptions appear on it, which are intended probably to smooth over the expectation time or at the minimum to inform the user about Zaurus' operations.

 jkOnTheRun: jkOTR review- Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000
Sharp has always been an innovator with the Zaurus line of PDAs and the newest member of that family is no exception.
Sharp includes a version of Intellisync on the CDs that come with the Zaurus but the program is in Japanese and thus virtually impossible to use for English speaking users.
The Zaurus Users Group was my favorite source of HOW-TOs, support forums, and software downloads and I highly recommend that to all Zaurus owners and even those who are trying to decide if the Z is right for you.

 Dynamism.com - Sharp Zaurus - SL-C3200
The Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 is the sixth generation of the groundbreaking SL-C line of LINUX-based PDAs.
Sharp is a display technology leader, and the Zaurus uses a 3.7" VGA (640x480) screen that is truly awesome: bright and razor sharp.
This Zaurus model is sold only by Sharp Japan (in Japan), and is not supported by Sharp USA in any way.

 Geek.com PDA Review: Sharp Zaurus Personal Mobile Tool
Sharp plans to release always-on wireless hardware and software that would make a Zaurus function the way a BlackBerry does now, at which point the E-mail notification light is more appropriate.
Sharp reps say the files are too large to be opened by a handheld, but I can view them on any Pocket PC I have ever tried.
Sharp developers have since changed their minds, realizing, I bet, that their best shot at selling these is to woo developers.

 O'Reilly Network -- Sharp's Zaurus SL-6000L: A Free Software PDA
Sharp is the #1 PDA seller in Japan, due to excellent hardware and perfectly localized software.
Not only is it ugly (big, made of cheap plastic, with sharp edges) but it is also poorly conceived, preventing the use of the integrated keyboard, requiring too much strength to plug and unplug the Zaurus, and so on.
It would be very handy if it didn't take four seconds for the Zaurus to wake up when inserting one memory card (it's nine seconds if you have an SD and a CF), thus missing the first few seconds of your memo.

 Mobile-review.com Sharp Zaurus SL-C3100 - 300-gram tablet Linux PDA with HDD
There were some experiments with the own operating system (Sharp SE-300), but they weren't successful, as their opportunities offered not much compared with the electronic equalizer.
This model is in fact derivative from the Zaurus 5500/5600, but it has a built-in digital camera, the form-factor and basic specs remained the same.
While OLED was initially designed for external displays of cell phones, the CG Silicon thrived a year ago with Sharp Zaurus C700 and further models the C750 and C760.

 ottaky.com : Sharp Zaurus SL-5500
It appears that the clever people at Lineo managed to build SMB support into their kernel, and the not so clever people at Sharp forgot to include an SMB client with the Zaurus.
The default hostname for the Zaurus, "localhost", is a bit dull and can actually cause problems with some Windows apps, so it's not a bad idea to change it to something more useful..
The Zaurus comes with a USB connected cradle which is more trouble that it's worth.

It can also be found on the Sharp Developer site which is in the links page.
Sharp provides a basic root filesystem to play with which although it is missing a lot of the features of a standard filesystem, much more importantly although it does contain useful tools to build a filesystem, so we'll grab them.
Because the include root_cramfs/ doesn't contain everything that the Sharp ROM has one can now replace everything in the root_cramfs/ directory with the ROM which was acquired in step 2.

 Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Review and User Opinions. PDAs Reviews by Digital Trends.
With the PDA market seemingly shrinking and stagnating, Sharp has released a new versatile PDA that may change what the definition of a PDA is.
What distinguishes the Zaurus from other popular PDAs is the use of Linux as the core operating system.
This allows the Zaurus to have a stable, tried and true operating system with a lot of flexibility and extensibility.

 Sharp Zaurus SL5500 PDA Review
The first prototypes of the Zaurus were shown at the beginning of 2001 but only in May this device will appear on the European shelves.
The hardware realization of the Zaurus is superb: the design is reliable, there are just several flaws which are accounted by the fact that the device was developed a long time ago (I mean the small battery and inconvenient texting of large texts).
The cheaper HP Jornada 568 doesn't yield to the Zaurus in performance and other parameters and has better capabilities of the standard software and a larger number of software from third companies.

It is infinitely hackable, thanks to Sharp's release of source code and documentation for developers.
I am interested in configuring the Zaurus to sync with a Linux desktop machine, as a portable web, vnc, ssh terminal, and as a handheld multimodal interface to larger scientific visualization systems.
I disabled ftp, telnet and samba on the Zaurus and installed ssh (killefiz) and rsync (killefiz) instead.

 The Sharp Zaurus SL-C700
Sharp sells its SL-C700 only in Japan, but you can import them from various people, who will also configure them in English for you.
The Sharp ROM ships with a deficient terminal application (not 8-bit clean, gets confused by non ascii characters; sends SIGSTOP and loses tty settings when the machine is suspended).
I have gathered enough essential programs to survive on top of the Sharp ROM (a sensible konsole, zsh, less, screen, jed, ssh, cvs, perl — although somehow out-of-date versions).

 Debian Zaurus - Project Home
The Zaurus is a Linux-based PDA from Sharp.
The Debian Zaurus project aims to create a full-featured, plug-and-play Debian environment for the Zaurus, with all the trimmings, including package management with dpkg and apt.
With the Sharp image, and perhaps with future Debian images, variable stuff will be stored as tarballs, and unpacked into the writable storage area after a hard reset, rather than stored directly in the cramfs initrd.

 Engadget
Unfortunately, the Sharp is only available in Korea for 341,000 won (about $360), and the fembot, well, she's yours for 5 days at a time you sick bastages.
But as the market has matured (and declined), the Zaurus line has devolved into little more than a pocket dictionary, giving it something of a second life in countries like Japan and Korea, where such products are still popular, but continuing to marginalize it as a portable computer.
Ah, the Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000—the great PDA we've always wished would appear (especially in the wake of the huge loss that was the Sony Clie PEG-UX50), that will never, ever, ever make it to America without an importer.
