C1000/3x00 General discussions / Zaurus SL-C3000

I don't know why there is so much whinging going on about this model.  I've been waiting on the side-lines, considering the Zaurus (and other options, like maybe the OQO), and this looks like the best option yet for me by far.  I need wireless, and I need storage.  With one CF slot, that is a problem.  With the HD in the Zaurus, they have just solved that problem.  Also, I'm sure they're buying these HDs much cheaper than I could -- now that the MuVo2s don't have usable microdrives in them any more.

As far as I am concerned, this is starting to look like the first really usable Zaurus for my purposes.  I could keep a sync'd copy of all my E-mail on it now (i.e. simultaneous WiFi and HD access to do the syncing).  I could use it to backup my photos from my camara (i.e. simultaneous SD and HD access).  Maybe I could even use it for field audio recording one day (www.core-sound.com, i.e. CF and HD access).

I'm glad to see some people (Dynamism UK, Handheld Linux DE, ShirtPocket?) are looking at bringing it to Europe.

Also note there is no reduction in RAM-style memory (64MB).  Only the Flash-style memory is reduced, but as I understand it, this is only really needed for booting from when you have 4GB of HD-style memory built in.
