Great for veteran Linux fans
This is probably not the product which one wish to use daily. A synchronisation with today's computers is not easy (no matter if Windows ones or Linux or Mac ones). But it's a piece of Linux handleld history and there still can be use for it. The display is surprisingly readable and it's PIM appplications, while not perfect, can still be easily used. It can also exchange basic PIM data (calendar events, todos and contact) with other similar computers (Palm Pilot ones, for example). It is also possible to take quick notes, make and save simple sketches or to listen musit (please note that ! GB SD card and 2 GB CompatFlash cards are maximum that in can use). The keyboard is tiny but one can learn to use it for relatively fast typing. For easier use I recommend to install operating system on the SD card (one can use the "Cacko/Crow" OS for that). There are some things which can be issues for modern uses: - battery life in full use is only abou 3 hours (but it can endure more than a week in suspend) - there is no USB for connection nor for charging, a special Sharp AC adapter must be used a spoecial cable is required for its synchronisation with a computer - there is no wireless (no WiFi nor Bluetooth) and the compatible CompactFlash WiFi cards are usually useless in modern WiFi networks. But ethernet cards in CompactFlash format usually works (but do noc expect any wonders here, the device has no WWW browser which can survive in modern WWW environments). If you really want to use a Zaurus, I recommend the clamshell ones (SL-Cxxx), they have better LCD, better keyboards and usually a much bigger battery.

A rare find
I've been trying for ages to find this product, it has plenty of storage and using the Linux OS which is stable and very usable. A thoroughly recommended buy.
