I'm ignorant of this "1Seg digital TV tuner". Could it be used to watch North American "farmer vision"?

Interesting!  It looks to me like Sharp is blurring the line between the Zaurus and Papyrus models.  It only makes sense since they are marketing them both to the dictionary market in Japan.  Could this mean that they are going to dump the C1000 and have this "replace" it?  That would leave the C3200 as the last remaining Zaurus until they release a Papyrus PW-TC3300 with a 20GB microdrive and PVR functionality to go with the TV tuner in the TC900.
I think I'm coming down with what kahm's got!  I now have 3 Zaurii in house!  ;)

I don't know it looks like they borrowed heavily from the C1000 for this one.  It is using a similar color scheme with black top and bottom with shades of grey from the LCD bezel and keyboard.  It really looks like a thinner C1000 that had a run in with a PowerMac G5.
