Title: Sharp Rd-9100mp - Larger Z? 5" Display
Post by: ArchiMark on January 30, 2007, 01:47:12 pm
Just saw this new Sharp RD-9100MP posted:

http://aving.net/kr/news/default.asp?mode=...ode=01&SP_Num=0 (http://aving.net/kr/news/default.asp?mode=read&c_num=34404&C_Code=01&SP_Num=0)

Anyone know about this?

Looks sort of like a larger SL-C3xxx without the swivel screen to use as tablet mode though....

Is this just electronic dictionary only with no Linux OS??

Found some other similar Sharp models like this one too....RD-CX100, etc

Korean market devices??

Probably no-go for us Zsters, but what the heck...

Alas, that is no Korean Z.  

They got me all excited as a read

Personal Mobile....Dictionary.      Sharp, it is supposed to say Tool you tools.    

That thing is not even close to a  modern Z.  Take a look of what it looks like opened.  Kind of reminds me of 5000 series K-PDA Z's though.

aha, took a while to find, but here it is on reigncom.com site:
[a href=\"http://reigncom.com/eng/business/en_portable03.html]http://reigncom.com/eng/business/en_portable03.html[/url]

iriver D20
4.3" LCD
plays mp3, wma, asf, ogg
voice recorder
FM radio
SD card slot

the D10 is similar but with 4.5" LCD

no specifications on hardware nor details of the OS though.

I think, but I'm not sure, that the 9100MP has already been discussed on the forum. From the pictures it looks like it's a mono display:

yup, it's mono:

isn't this why for the PP there will be an inside screen which will be glorious 24-bit-colour 800x480 in 5", and an external screen which could be a high-vis viewable-in-sunlight 320x240 mono display for maximum battery life when using as a smartphone?

I agree he iRiver does look nice but, the full name of the product is IRiver Dicple D20 which to me is an unfortunate name choice.    

Picture this:
Guy 1: "Hey, have you seen my Dicple?"
Guy 2: "Your what!?"
Guy 1: "My Dicple ..."  while he starts to pull it out of his pants pocket.
Guy 2: "No thanks.  I don't swing that way."  and runs away...

 

If they ever release that unit outside of Korea that name has got go.

Alternate version:

Guy 1: Hey, is that a Dicple in your pocket or are you just happy to see me???

the Pocket Penguin is some vapourware that we are hoping will coalesce into a multi-purpose clamshell zaurus-like pocket computer with docking station/laptop thing, and thus fulfil all our dreams of what we hoped Sharp would evolve the Zaurus into, but instead cancelled it.

I see ... Well ... with Nokia N800 ... and some other linux pmp/pda devices, maybe it might be useful to use them as a base and just tool a shell to incorporate a larger batt + keyboard.

this has been discussed in the PP forums... your ideas would be welcome.

someone on internettablettalk has already made a sort of docking station for their 770 which is a step in the right direction.
