New "Amiga", $169.00
« on: March 17, 2003, 11:25:35 PM »
For those of you with short memories, Sharp was one of the most highly touted Amiga partners at one time.  Now you can get the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 PDA which can run AmigaDE for $169.00

Read more for details, and yes, you can still load AmigaDE on it, though it does violate the device's warranty.

From dealnews.com :

"The Sharp Zaurus SL-5500, a Linux-based handheld, costs $198.92 at HSN.com. If available to you, a 15% off coupon cuts the net price to $169.08, the best we've seen by $100. Add $8.95 for shipping. Features include 240x320 color TFT screen, 64MB RAM, pull-out QWERTY-style keyboard, 206MHz StrongARM processor, USB connectivity, and both CompactFlash and Secure Digital slots. Offer ends April 17, 2003. "

Seriously.  There are those out there who still want the device and they still want to run Amiga DE on it.  I know at least three people who've already bought them for exactly that purpose.

That's not correct, you don't have to run Windows on the PC you want to sync with. You can use Qtopia desktop, download it from Trolltech's web site.
