New Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000

Looks like Sharp is going to tantalize us yet again with another PDA offering that we may never get our hands on in the States (at least not directly). The SL-C1000 looks to have similar specs to its cousin, the
SL-C3000 but, rather notably, sans hard drive (which we can only hope will cut the price tag on this significantly, though no word on the dollar sign factor yet). It should have about 8 hours of battery life and 52MB user-area RAM. We're looking at a tentative launch date for the 18th of this month, when many cries of "Kampai!" will ring through the night in Japan, and cries of another variety altogether will be ringing from those folks' jealous counterparts in this hemisphere. Peep another photo after the break,
mates.

[Thanks, Robert!]
