Post by: ashikase on July 04, 2006, 09:37:11 pm: Just to note: a new model has been released, a slimmed down version that swaps screen-size for a phone keypad:

Also worth noting is that at the announcement, the Sharp representative apparently mentioned that Sharp intends to continue the Zaurus line as well.

Ahh.. but will they update the software? (especially will they release a concurrent update for existing zaurii??) I guess that matters less and less with 3rd party development, but still...
