General Discussion / Sl-c860 Vs The Sl-6000
« on: December 10, 2004, 11:34:17 pm »
Hi all-
I've decided that its time for a pda again(last one was a sl-5500 that was went missing; what can I say roommates are great.) Anyway I've finally moved into the lofty postion on Network admin as such I now have a Need for a good PDA (meetings,tapes,log checks,break 'n fix desktop stuff , and 10 suits stopping me in the hall with 10 different tasks each, every time I run to the pop machine). As such I come begging for advice on what I should get. I'd like to go with the C860, but wonder is the extra money and time(switching roms for english) worth it? As I left the world of the zauri a while ago I'm not sure what the deal is as far as ipks go now. As in do the ones on feed sites like ww.killefiz.de/zaurus work with the newer hardware or does all software neeed to be compiled/cross compiled to work or are there two different ipk packages?(arm/xscale) what about accessories what will and will not work( I read that the 860 will appear like a flash drive in windows can anyone vouch for this?) Does anyone know of working lan cards or serial connectors? What about the rom swap for the 860 to english has anyone done it? Is it a headache? Well I would like to thank anyone who bothered to read this in advace and either way I'll most likely be back once I get one or the other. Thanks again.
Oh one last question is there a good IRC channels for Zaurus users ?
