Sharp claims the Zaurus SL-6000 can be used as a laptop replacement. It has 64MB of protected Flash memory along with 64MB of SDRAM, a high-powered Intel XScale 400MHz processor, and extra long battery life with a rechargeable, replaceable 1500 mAh Lithium polymer battery supporting typical enterprise use.
The SL-6000's has a screen four-times larger than previous models and built-in wireless. It will also be capable of multi-tasking.
The SL-6000's display will be a four-inch, "transflective," high-density VGA resolution TFT LCD screen. The display will be switchable from landscape to portrait mode at the touch of a button, for easier Web or spreadsheet viewing.
Along with it's built-in wi-fi connectivity, the Zaurus will support Sprint's high-speed CDMA 1xRTT service via a CompactFlash add-in card.
Sharp says it will announce pricing for the Zaurus SL-6000 when the unit ships early in 2004.
