Let\'s see what happens after it rolls of the UPS truck tomorrow. (* crosses fingers *)

It would be nice to create a customized ROM that gets rid of the useless apps and imports some of the nice apps from the Opie/OpenZaurus.

A version of pdaXrom could be fun, too.

Post by: lpotter on June 07, 2004, 01:05:26 am: I think the thing about this is, Sharp hasn\'t released any backup rom for the 6000 yet.

Post by: Otziviok on June 10, 2004, 09:52:38 am: Haven\'t ever used any PDA, so this may sound a stupid question, but does this Sharp\'s rom include all the applications too? I was just thinking should it be now easy to convert a japanese 6KW-model to english, just by updateing the rom?

Post by: duffman on June 10, 2004, 11:04:14 am: I believe the ROM does include all the initial applications.

Post by: spencer@ on June 10, 2004, 09:01:46 pm: Now that I\'m a USER of the Zaurus.. can anyone tell me what the release differences are for 1.07 and 1.12? I could probably find out - but I wanted to post a relatively legit message and join in..
