New Zaurus This Summer?

[rebski]

Trisoft know what we want and if they say it will be a nice surprise then, whatever it is, I am buying it!

I have been without a Zaurus for 10 months now and can’t take it any more.

Seeing as how there are only 18 days to go there is bound to be a leak posted very shortly on Akihabara News or somesuch.

.... and 6000's screen !! (I also bet on 2.1 version of Qtopia)

I suspect you might be throwing your money away with that bet...

It's my dream to be able to have a PDA the size of the 3000 or 5500 with XGA-out that I could just pop into a docking station and light up a full-sized monitor and peripherals with the press of a button. The dock would need an integrated USB hub/port replicator for devices. Check my e-mail. Do some surfing. When I'm done, pop out the PDA, stick it in my pocket & take it on the road.

I don't think you realise exactly how slow it is. Not to mention the fact that it runs an antiquated widget set, kernel, etc.

mmmm the new Zaurus look what you started Marc  I hope they make it 18 days hehe.

[amrein]

Holding my breath... like a kid... as soon as I find new posts about the new incoming Sharp device.

I'm pathetic. I'm not alone a least.

So... I'm guessing that the 3100 is the "nice surprise" that TRISoft mentioned? It appears that it does indeed go on sale on the 24th.

However, looking at the specs, I'm wondering where the "nice surprise" is...

- ashikase
- anpachi, gifu, japan

What specs are you looking at???  Am I missing something?

EDIT:  nevermind, I see the news post now (haven't had my morning coffee yet  )

[rebski]

The model C3100 (though not the specification) was known about in February so I would be surprised if this is what Trisoft are expecting in 18 days time, or is that now 17?

Let's ask Trisoft

Hey Trisoft ... is that Zaurus SL-C3100 you mentioned to be surprise in 17 days?

Hey merli,

yes, the SL-C3100 is the one we meant with our little
Zaurus-Countdown.
And let me say, we had big fun with all the speculations
that came up   (aren't we bad guys sometimes  ).

OK, serious now.
We really REALLY like the SL-C3100 because it gives two
advantages to the user:
1st: Many users complained about the white case, this
increased with the SL-C1000. We often heard "why is the
C3000 not so pretty as the C1000 is ?". This is done now.

2nd: The 128 MB flash memory should not only speed up
the system, we now have the easy NAND backup /
restore capability of the previous models. So it's much
easier for users to test Roms and get back to a previous
state without the need to extract the microdrive in worst
case.

I know that a lot of users wish bigger displays, a week
battery life, WiFi / BT / GSM included and and and...
But i'm sure we will see more models coming, at the
moment we're happy with the "Evolution" of the C3000.

I'll be honest here and say that I think you guys were a little unfair; OESF'ers are eternally optimistic and were hoping for great things, and got a small evolutionary step.

Next time, please just say "there's a new Z coming, and it's just a little bit better than the current one", rather than dash people's hopes.

I'm still hoping to hear news of someone grafting the screen from a 6000 into a 1000/3x00, and adding an internal bluetooth module - I guess the 3100 makes the latter easier with the internal CF slot.

And I bet you will say "I meant no 3100 in march"   ahahaha!

Hi everybody,

could we please stop these rumors. Users and customers
are driving us crazy since a week now just because a dealer
in Akihabara said something weird.

Official statement from us:
There will be no (i repeat _NO_) new model in March. And
not in April nor in May. The SL-C3000 is new and there
will be no change in the next weeks.

For sure we will see a new model, as always. But not that fast.

Believe me, it's true, no SL-C3100 coming.

Yes, you got me.
And we knew that it was planned for June, so i said
"definitely no successor in march".

---- Edit / Add --------

@speculatrix
For sure we know that you all want revolutions, but
please expect evolutions also for the next models.
And i can just repeat, the C3100 is a nice upgrade
to the actual C3000. The two most mentioned
complaints (color and HD only) are gone now.
We're really happy with it.

At least I won't feel bad i bought a C3k.  it's not as if the next version was that much better.
