BarginPDA.com Reviews the Sharp Zaurus SLC3000 PDA and they write -"The new Zaurus SL-C3000 from Sharp is a linux-based PDA incorporating an Intel XScale PXA270 CPU at 416 MHz. It has a 640 by 480 pixel screen and is physically quite similar to the previous Zaurus clamshell models, the main difference being that it has a 4 GB hard drive built in. That's quite a step forward and delivers speed and mass storage at a price which would be very hard to match in Compact Flash (CF) or Secure Digital (SD) format..."

The SL-C3100 should appear in retail on June 24 at approx. $750.
