Hello one and all, I am thinking of jumping aboard the Z wagon, but I have a few questions to help me make up my mind, those will be towards the end of this post.
I'll start by introducing myself, I'm an IT technician from the UK and up to now I have had only a little experience with Linux (after numerous kernel recompiles I got sick of it and reverted to Windows) but enough to get by. While visiting a friend in france I had the opportunity to play with his Zaurus (5xxx series) and was quite smitten by it, but the cost was a little too much to justify something in my eyes is a lustworthy boys toy. When the C7x0 series came out touting the X-Scale CPU and a great clamshell design I reconsidered my judgement and realised it could be of some real use. I am giving strong thought as to whether to sell my Sony VAIO C1VE and use the money to buy a C760. The questions I have are as follows: :arrow: I've read various posts on watching movies on the Z, I've noticed that mplayer seems to be the best for watching divx movies like, but what's the best it can handle? Would it play a 320x240 25FPS 384kbit divx movie with a 48khz MP3 Stereo sound track perfectly? :arrow: I notice that the C760 doesn't support SDIO, is this a hardware limitation or kernel? Basically all I'm asking here is if there's a chance in the future that SDIO support can be added to the C760 :arrow: I read in a post that watching movies from a SD card is a bad idea, something about the SD card not being able to transfer the data quickly enough. This question is would an SD card work fine with transferring MP3's and other things? Also will the C760 support a 512MB SD card? :arrow: I'm a big fan of First Person Shooter style games and I read that the C760 has Doom available for it, also Quake (but it apparently runs slowly). Are there any better first person shooters than these games for the C760 that take advantage of the X-Scale CPU? My hat goes off to the people who answer my questions
