The SL-C3100 is the latest entry in Sharp's line of Zaurus PDAs. Sharp sold Zaurus PDAs in the US for a while, but decided to pull out of the US market 2 or 3 years ago. Interestingly, though, there are still many importers bringing Zauruses to the US and Europe, and there is still an active community of Zaurus users and developers.

The W800i is Sony Ericsson's first in a series of Walkman branded handsets. While the Walkman brand is still ingrained in my mind as a portable tape player, Sony has kept upgrading the devices which are now MP3 players. Music phones are all the rage this year, so MobileTracker is excited to get a look at the W800i.

Palm will ship Linux-powered mobile phones this year, say sources claiming to be close to the company. The devices will be powered by Wind River Linux, and pending carrier reaction, may well be the first Linux-powered handsets distributed widely within the US.

The red Smartone-Vodafone SX833 sold in Hong Kong is essentially the same as the Vodafone Sharp 903SH. MobileBurn was able to put this phone through its paces on the local 3G network here in Hong Kong. Except where noted, everything that you read about the SX833 for the Hong Kong market should also apply to the 903SH that is available in Europe.
