AFAIK, Zaurus series like sl5500/5600 already very popular in beijing.
and a lot of people own even C7XX, even a lot of ipaq user refalash their ipaq 36/3800 to run \'familia\'.
Anyway, porting simplicity chinese inputmethod and convert \'simsun\' font will unite a lot of people join \'beijing\' ZUG.

BTW: There is a \'fantastic\' Chinese Zaurus Fourm in taiwan for a long time.
http://zaurus.cis92.net/plps (http://zaurus.cis92.net/plps)
Admin of that fourm, named \'monoldo\' (nick:Captain of Traffic),
he lead a group of hacker there, they already done a lot of contribute
like \'traditional chinese inputmethod\' and Big5 support for most of QT applications.
They even maintained a Traditional Chinese ROM with a kernelpatched \'preemtion feature\' for sl5500.

To my own point of view:
Zaurus is a Personal Mobile Tool, Not a traditional PDA only used for PIM.
It\'s also a good device to help youngman or students in college to learn linux!
but as we know CEC sell both sl5600c and sl7500c in such a high price with out any reason!
eg. You can buy a sl7500c from \'CEC\' but use the same money you can get a brand-new C860 with a CF Wifi card together!
AFAIK, except chinese localizaiton/handwriting input method and CF GPRS driver, CEC almost do Nothing!
So... a lot of protential zaurus users will lost the chance to get in touch with it and lost chance to learn qt/java/kernel/embedded development on Zaurus.
My last words : beijing ZUG will help most of people in China who get Zaurus not from \'CEC\' do simplicity chinese localization work. and supply optimized kernel.

ts not only people in Beijing who need a CN localised Zaurus. I live in the UK but use my Z as a quick lookup from Chinese to English and back using Pinyin and simplified characters. Its been a big frustration to me that the only Chinese input methods I can find for pinyin all are based on the traditional character set. A Beijing ZUG might just be the thing to get some proper CN localisation going and also bring the Z to a larger audience

nice to meet guys also in beijing here.
I prefer the ZUG of China.

try here, there is a pinyin input method available in simplified Pinyin.
I think that Zhanght must have some better input method. Perhaps we can share with him. If it is not compiled for SL-5600C's pxa250/pxa255 specifically, I can use it on my StrongARM 1110 based sl-5500.
Zhanght, How about it?

I just released a pinyin inputmethod under GPL, have a try
murphytalk pinyin inputmethod (http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=191027&fpage=1)
but it is a version dedicated to C7xx/C8xx.
