This is the model I was looking at after selling my 5000D but given the lack of Sharp support in the USA, and a couple of other missing features I bought a notebook instead -- will wait to see if the C7xx series catches on and Sharp gets serious. I agree, these models have a lot going for them and would be good for Linux in the marketplace. I did read somewhere that the CPU they chose is a bit weak and that something substantially better is coming along, perhaps that is what they are waiting for. doc > ... their newer SL-C7x0 models > (the clamshell models) are gorgeous (you can see one at > http://www.dynamism.com/zaurus7xx/index.shtml > but sharp are being funny about not making these things > globally available. > rday
