Could Be The Z Sl-c3100 A Trap?

what's the FCC ID so we can get all the details off

I've tried Sl-C3000, "sharp electronics" and no luck... unless of course they asked for it to be stealthed.

maybe Sharp will revamp the C3100 as a PalmOS device (given that Palm want a linux platform) and sell it as a rival to the Palm LifeDrive in the USA.

There are rumours of a new palm licensee:

(hey, I was right about the C3000 having an internal CF connector which was wild speculation, so I'll have another crack at the rumour mill!!!)

From the same article
"Although the name of the licensee wasn't revealed, McVeigh made it clear that this is a mobile phone maker, so it's virtually certain this company won't be making handhelds."

So doesnt seem likely to be Sharp.

Speculatrix,

there's no FCC ID. SHARP works here the same way
like we do.
It is possible to declare the FCC conformity by a DOC
(Declaration Of Conformity), that's what the manual
says.
This way you don't need to give a manual to the FCC,
they only want details about the testing.

So the FCC is a dry hole for an English manual. And
we're now pretty sure that the SL-C3100 will hit the
US in the Japanese version. No English manual and
no modified keyboard without Japanese writing.
Looks like SHARP is copying us

And Sharp as a Palm OS licensee - sounds a bit far fetched, but you never know.
And I dont think Linux as a Palm platform is that far advanced that they are ready to sign up licensees for that platform so soon.

Maybe they want to offer and "alternative interface/os for those whom are scared of linux, after all there is a good amount of palmos users still out there

Hmmph....I've seen more support per corporate size from trisoft, than I have ever seen from sharp.

anyway, it was wild speculation!

And a Google search for SL-C4500 yields a broken link whose snippet of text reads as follows, when put through Babel Fish:

"Unless... with this model it can sell, whether without being "next" because... luxury you do not say, SL? C4500 (6GBHDD and radio..."

Is this pointing to a new Sharp Zaurus SL-C4500 with a 6GB HDD and built-in wifi?  Maybe, maybe not.  I believe we will see a device with these specs eventually, if not this year then next.

I don't see anything like that on Google. In fact, I don't see any Japanese sites at all. Can you link the original?
