However, I think there are advantages of the Zaurus that can be made apparent to average users.  Most of my colleagues don\'t know WTH Opera is, but they do understand I have the only PDA at my hospital that can provide all the security features required to access online medical records.  \"Bluetooth\" may not mean anything to Joe sixpack, but being able to check email or surf the web anywhere his cellphone works probably will.

These are all advantages that US consumers will \"get,\" if Sharp would articulate them.

Your hospital is an enterprise market.  That is exactly what Sharp is going after.  The #1 mobile phone provider in the US is Verizon.  No supported Bluetooth phones there.  Sharp is doing exactly what the market dictates to them.

If they\'re after my hospital, they\'re not doing so well--remember, I have the only PDA with Opera.  It impresses, but the end is usually \"Zaur...what?  I\'ve never even heard of one of those.  I got my Palm at Circuit City!\"

And actually, Verizon is about to offer a bluetooth phone.

I wonder if it would be possible to build a clamshell \"accessory\" that fits into the 6000 expansion sleeve slot and gives you a landscape keyboard.

I have one of those accessories (sic) it is called a Pocketop IR Keyboard  

And I can touch type on it. IRK 0.11.0 works great on my new SL-6000

[OK, so the keyboard isn\'t really attached, but it has way cool factor]
