Sharp Zaurus (SL-5600?) Linux/Java PDA w/ CF Camera Card - $259.79 shipped @ HSN

[bradolson]

HSN.com has the Sharp Zaurus Java/Linux PDA w/ CompactFlash Camera Card for $298.84 plus $10.95 shipping.

There is a 25% off (max $50 off) coupon code (search Google or check out the site in my sig) to save an additional $50, bringing your cost down to $259.79 shipped.

Features include 400MHz XScale processor, 64MB memory, integrated keyboard, Secure Digital and CompactFlash slots, CF Camera card, cradle and more. Although it doesn't explicitly say, I think this is the same SL-5600 model Amazon sells for $300 without the CF camera card that HSN includes, so this is a nice deal.

Here are some reviews

Looks interesting, I guess the only potential hassle is finding software for this. I like the fact that it has both SD and CF slots for media.

I wonder which SD or CF WiFi Card is most Linux friendly?

 

[SearchMaster]

SD wi-fi cards are relatively new (and somewhat rare), so I'd be pretty sure that there would be more support for the CF ones. I can't speak from experience though.

It's definitely a linux pda and NOT a java pda.
