Hello Everybody..
I have a few simple "Beginner Level" question about the Zaurus Sl-C860. Before I go any further, I would like to say that
this is my first time using a PDA. I have never used a PDA and have been using simple traditional means till now. I was recently in Japan and liked the Zaurus and decided to purchase it
Well, I would like to first thank you for reading my post and helping me through some simple question. I would also like to say that I have read the FAQ's and HowTo's and I still have a few question and so I would like to seek your help
The Sl-C860 I have has Cacko ROM 1.21b on it.
Following are my questions:
1) I would like for my Zaurus to connect to the Internet via GPRS. I was wondering if I should purchase a CompactFlash Abmicom GPRS card (following is the link to it:
http://www.ambicom.com/products/gprs/index.html) or an Ambicom Bluetooth Card (following is the link:
http://www.ambicom.com/products/air2net/bt2000cf.html)a) Which one would be a better choice?
b.) What suggestions do you have about battery life and consumption?
c) Which of the above two cards consume more power out of the Zaurus?
d) For Bluetooth, can my phone be in my shirt pocket or pant pocket and my Zaurus could still connect to it for the Internet connection?
e) Are drivers available for these cards for the Sl-C-860? If yes, where could I download them from?
2) I have seen some Palm PDA's and just the way they have PalmDesktop, is there some desktop software like that for the Cacko based Sl-c860 that I am using?
a) If not, is there any other rom I should use that has this Desktop software?
3) If I have documents or files on my Windows XP or Windows 2000 machine, how do I transfer them to my Zaurus on a daily basis?
a) Can this transfer be done my Bluetooth? If yes, how is that done?
b.) If there are any other ways of transfer what would they be?
3) Is there an Anti-virus for the Sl-c860? Do I need one? If there is, where can I get it from?
4) General Knowledge Question: Just the way we can flash different rom's on this Sl-C860, can we load Windows Mobile 2003 on this?, I know that SL-C860 is a linux machine, I was wondering if you can turn it into windows and vice-versa?
Thanks everybody..I really appreciate your help.
Have a GREAT day..
Thanks..
