I agree PGAS... and I like it! Nothing like having something, and not wanting the newer stuff (as it's not much better)..
I would like usb host though........ What's the point of 128MB Flash? |

Oh! You can put the whole OS on the FLASH, and thus you don't have the slow microdrive startup performance that bugs people with a c3000... that was a smart move by Sharp.

It looks like the biggest feature is that it includes a bunch of software that used to be sold separately.
I wonder if this is the surprise that TRISoft was talking about appearing in 17 days? - ashikase - anpachi, gifu, japan |

QUOTE(Lauter @ Jun 7 2005, 10:16 AM) Yes, It will have wireless lan! But only by extra CF_Cards  On the second page of the sharp-link they show the "Period of use" with a CF-WLan-Card! I think the only changes are more Flash and more japanese software. |

QUOTE(someonehoi @ Jun 7 2005, 07:45 AM) C3100 upgraded to Flash128MB(C3000 flash16MB). well, it's a pleasant surprise, but not overwhelming... I'd rather they upgraded the RAM than the flash, to be honest, if that's all they were going to do, as more RAM would make a big difference to performance for some hungry applications. and they missed the opportunity to upgrade the internal drive to a 5GB, which would have been trivial. sigh. my 860 is safe, and will remain mine... until a "3200" or something comes out with at least one wireless option. |

bummer, no built-in wifi... I was really hoping for that
I think I'll keep my 1000... the 4gb microdrive would be nice (especially with the 128mb flash), but I'm still worried about having moving parts in a handheld. |

Sharp seems to be going in smaller upgrade increments with each iteration of the Zaurus releases now.
So essentially this seems to only a move from 16MB Flash to 128 MB Flash and White cover to Black cover. The sofware additions of course dont count much for US and Europe imports. Well I am content with my C1000. |

I have a 4GB microdrive plugged into my C760... I've used it for more than a year, and have dropped it more times than I'd like to admit, and have yet to have a problem with it. If, like me, you're paranoid about losing data, you can always do like I do... keep a backup of all the important stuff on a RAID array, and use something like unison to keep it in sync. - ashikase - anpachi, gifu, japan |
