Good PDA but won't catch on

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's a great product and great implementation of ideas by Sharp, with a few shortcomings. Great PDA, but not for the price and the compatibility issues.
Review: The Sharp Zaurus is a very good PDA. It has many of the features people want, such as a calendar, clock, an Office-like suite, MP3 player, MPEG player, and games. Since it's linux/java based open source, it can be very versatile.

The hardware used by Sharp is pretty standard in comparison to its peers: 206MHz ARM processor, 64Mb RAM, CF & SD...

Great gadget for Linux / Unix wizards!

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: The absolute best of class "Linux PDA" on the market (until newer models are released).
Review: (minor update on 2003-02-03 due to request)

If you're like me and find fault with most commercial apps, then you will never be satisfied unless you have the capability of fixing it yourself. Since the Zaurus runs mostly open-source...
