Seems to me that Linux has a way of ending up being first on a number of “World’s First” scenarios. This time, it involves the worlds first hard drive PDA. Running Linux, the 4 gigabyte hard drive is breaking through barriers against the PDAs of old.
Sharp will next month ship its latest Zaurus PDA into the Japanese market, the consumer electronics company announced this week. The device will be the first PDA to sport a hard drive.
The Linux-based SL-C3000 adopts the clamshell casing of Sharp’s other Japanese PDAs, with a flip-around display reminiscent of Sony’s high-end Cliés. The unit weighs 298g.
