My Sharp Zaurus
I own a Sharp Zaurus
C3000, the clamshell PDA best known for:
- Running Linux (when the Zaurus was first introduced, there
were hardly any other Linux-based handhelds.
- It's 4 GB hard drive: The C3000 was the first.
- Clamshell design, with a VERY good 640x480 display.
- Screen that can 'flip over' (not unlike today's
Tablet PCs)
into landscape mode.
- All Zaurii come with a QWERTY keyboard, and the clamshells
benefit from having sufficient real-estate to make them quite usable.
Here's a few (outdated) photos.
I run an old version of pdaXrom,
and for a while have been switching to and fro from
OpenZaurus. I keep going
back to pdaXrom simply because I have some software that needs
some work before it can run on OZ. I basically run Debian in a chroot;
I think I have been using the same image since I bought the Zaurus
(I initially ran fbvnc
for a while, with the same Debian image I am using now).
