From Engadget -
In an acknowledgement to the many modders running Ubuntu on itss discontinued Zaurus PDAs, Sharp has make it official with its 5" 1024 x600 TFT LCD touchscreen NetWalker smartbook, the PC-Z1. While technically not a Zaurus the 161.4 x 108.7 x 19.7 ~ 24.8mm / 409g device can very well be its successor.
Specs include an 800MHz Freescale i.MX515 CPU on an ARM Cortex-A8 architecture, 512MB RAM, 4GB SSD (microSDHC expansion for another 16GB), 802.11b/g WiFi, 2 USB, and a 68%-size QWERTY keyboard, non-removable 10-hour battery. It is expected to be released in Japan next month for ¥44,800 (about $479).
Problem is it has no 3G data. Neither is it a netbook or even a smartbook. So the question is who is going to use it?
