Look!!!Sharp new electronic dictionary.
[a href=\"http://www.sharp.co.jp/papyrus/lineup/pw-n8000/images/pw-n8000.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"]
4.3" (480x272) ASV LCD
SDcard insert ....

I guess the LCD is as same as the PSP one...  
Because ASV, 4.3" and 480x272,the configuration are the same....


When will the new zaurus come out..?

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but one thing I really miss on my Z is a mouse !
That might be because I haven't mastered the keyboard properly yet, but it seems some apps don't have everything available from the keyboard :<

So please Mr Sharp, anybody knows the designers names and emails ?

Include a mouse pointer in the next Zauri, maybe if you don't want to reinvent the wheel just put one of these IBM thinkpad type balls, not the best but quite good
My guess is you could put it as a replacement for the OK button in the middle of the arrow keys, and add an ok beside the cancel.

That's a great idea, I hate using the stylus on my C1000 in landscape mode (which is the normal use), each time I tap the screen, the screen flips backward when the Z sits on a table. So you end up with an almost horizontal screen.
Moreover, switching between the keyboard and the stylus is annoying.
I was even thinking about a little joystick in place of the OK button that you could also press to get the OK action.
SL-C1000 from PriceJapan(cheap and very fast shipping) with EA-70 power adapter, iRiver USB Host cable, PDAIR case, pentopia stylus, ultra clear screen-protector from shop.brando.com.hk only $3 for shipping worldwide
4GB Hitachi Microdrive, 1GB Kingston Elite Pro CF, 4GB Transcend 150x SD, Symbol Spectrum 4137 CF WiFi(low power)
PdaXrom pdaxii13 5.4.9 updated with Kkazakov13's feed. I owned a SL-6000L before

Why not just get a little USB travel mouse?  They're a lot more usable than the dot and it works today.

My wife used to use one of those on her PC, the darn thing didn't even last 3 months before it just fell apart. Too sensitive, too fragile.
