5x00 General discussions / Just got a Zaurus 5600, & a lot of questions

« on: May 05, 2004, 11:09:51 pm »

OK I updated to Sharp 1.32 ROM painlessly & without losing any data. But it is not clear to me if I need to flash the special kernel also. If flashing the special kernel is needed, then a step by step guide would be much appreciated (the instructions given on the update page couldn\'t penetrate my Windows reinforced skull).
Thanks

5x00 General discussions / Handwriting recognition program

« on: May 04, 2004, 08:17:21 pm »

Is there a good handwriting recognotion program for the 5600? I need something that will allow me to write flowing text without having to enter each letter separately. I tried Quicknotes but it appears to be for the Cx series and didn\'t show up in my application list.

Thanks for the help. I am trying to get up my courage to update the ROM. Will this update rectify the bug in the processor?
Are the updates available in Sharp\'s site the same too?

Hi
I just bought a Zaurus 5600 from Amazon (despite it having a pxa250 chip). This is my first PDA and I\'m feeling a little lost. On Sharp\'s websites there seem to be several updates but I\'m not sure which one to install. Also I\'ve heard about a patch that takes care of the bug in the pxa250 but am not sure if I need it ornot. Most free programs I was able to find were for the CL5500 which seems to be most popular; and some posts say that these programs won\'t work with the CL5600. Is this true? I did have problems terminating the Java game \"Tail Gunner\". I am also having synchronizing problems with my XP Pro machine. Whenever I double click on \"Sync Options\", nothing happens. Is there a sort of \"Dummies Guide\" to the Zaurus 5600? It\'ll be a great help for absolute beginners like me.
Thanks
