Bye Bye Zaurus! Sharp Officially Discontinues Their Linux PDA.
Amazingly popular a few years ago, the Linux power PDA from Sharp, the Zaurus SL-C3XXX Series is now officially DEAD!
Available in Japan since 1993, Zaurus PDAs became extremely popular with the SL-5500 Series and clamshell SL-C700.
In 2006, Sharp launched their latest Zaurus, the SL-C3200, powered by an Intel Xscale PXA270 CPU @ 416MHz and with 6GB of HDD (micro drive).
So here it is… the Zaurus is dead. If you own one, you’re now an artifact collector!

we were told in Jan 2007 that sharp had announced end of production, but they carried on making them for some time (according to TriSoft who imported them to Europe) because the manufacturing date went up to Jan 2008, so I guess it’s truly official.
Does anyone know how I can get one of these repaired?!
it’s so pitty, this device is so cute (((
Never seen one before, but sure looks like a nice little unit. I bet iphones and blackberries these days can do most of what this unit can do so that’s why it went out of production.
