I presume you are lovin the u1010? ... I'm going the eeepc route ... and once everything transition over ... the zaurus days are numbered.PS: Only thing preventing the eeepc from fully taking over the zaurus, is a proper timer app so that I can also use the eeepc as a timer / alarm. As it is, the zaurus is one notch lower than the palm pda I had. It had the BigClock app which to date, is THE BEST timer / alarm / clock app I've ever used. |

Ciao Mein!
 Hope you don't regret selling your Z like I did.... Couldn't take it anymore, so ordered a new one.... Just got my new Z yesterday!

Surely the most important aspect of all in the specs is instant-on? A pocket device with a significant boot time is just a pain. And this rules out all current UMPCs as far as I'm concerned. Zaurus is only option to include a decent keyboard as far as I know. Mark |

Mark well there are 2 other available options too : -sleep mode (quite instant on but consume some battery) -hibernate mode (longer to light up but quite no battery consumption) but you're right , this is an issue too... about keyboards, i find the fujitsu one is less usable than the zaurus but once you're used to it you enjoy it too

So let's say "au revoir". I still didn't get a good offer on my c1000 and I'm getting quite used to the idea of keeping it, after all, it is pocketable. With the U dualbooting linux and xp, I don't use the Z that much any longer but still can't imagine life without it. Have fun, Chero. |
