Zaurus Sl-c3100, Small Review
« on: July 04, 2005, 06:45:48 am »
Hi there

The folks at Akihabara News from JAPAN (http://www.akihabaranews.com) just wrote a very short review (they call it a Photo Album) of the 3100, you can access to this review here

http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/revue_54.html

Of course this review is in English, they already tested the 3000 and didn't wanted to rewrite an article for the 3100 since very few hardware change has been made...

Enjoy !

MobileMap is a commercial program and can be purchased seperately from Sharp. I don't know if it would be that useful outside of Japan, though... its search and map download features are designed to work with Sharp's navigation service (which requires a monthly fee).

I made the mistake of purchasing it before I bought my C3100 (and hence effectively paid for it twice). It's a decent program, but it could be better; I'm looking to start using qpegps instead.

hi,

I can see that the power adapter (EA-75) that come with the SL-C3100 is different from the one that came with my SL-C1000 (EA-72). Can the EA-75 be used in Europe at last ?
See the picture of the EA-75 attached for some specs.

From the pic it is a 100-240V 50-60Hz ac adapter which means it can work everywhere (most of Europe is 220V from memory), the only sticking point woul be the plug size/shape, but there are a bunch of adapters available for that.

To avoid the rainy season and to buy shoes that fit.
