Availability
The Sharp Zaurus SL-C760 is available in the United States through Dynamism now for $799 USD.
Conclusion
The Zaurus SL-760 is in many ways the same as its predecessors. The hardware is amazing, one of the most impressive devices we've seen. The thumbboard is first-rate, the screen is gorgeous, the battery life is very welcome, and dual card slots are always appreciated. The C760 could easily act as our office-in-a-pocket, that is, if the software was more complete. Unfortunately, while the bundled software is good, it's not great, and still shows some rough edges we'd have expected to have been dealt with a long time ago. Still, it is a solid device and once OpenZaurus is fully working on the C760 it will be one of the most complete "pocket laptop" solutions we've seen.
What's positive: First-rate thumbboard, screen, battery life
What's negative: Bundled software still has rough edges
