Title: Random Links To Zaurus Related Blogs/videos
Post by: Varti on October 03, 2016, 08:27:25 am
I think it would be a nice idea to share links of recently updated blogs/websites of people using their Zauruses, which we might stumble upon while searching for other stuff. I'll start with this blog:

https://jirkasnotes.wordpress.com/ (https://jirkasnotes.wordpress.com/)

A Zaurus SL-C760 used during train commutes:

...though I guess he should install the >1GB SD patch and search for a more modern wifi solution

The english Sharp User Group have opened a new, modern site for the club:

http://sharpusersclub.org/ (http://sharpusersclub.org/)

On their About page they mention support for older pre-Linux Zauruses (ZR-5700, ZR-5800 etc.):

A video showcasing an impressive collection of UMPCs/PDAs (25!), including an SL-C1000, a Netwalker and a GPD Win, with a short review of each item:

I wonder if all of them are in a working condition...

Updating this thread with some recent Zaurus posts I came across:

A japanese Akita user trying out Alarmz, seems he's having some problems in booting it, hopefully if he speaks English he'll come here and ask for help

There are from time to time Z threads on Reddit...

A new post on "Bachi's garage" blog, comparing various UMPCs with a physical keyboard, including an SL-C1000:
