TuxTops has a review of Sharp's new Zaurus SL-5500 Linux-based PDA. What's most significant about the new Zaurus is the sub-$200 price tag. Previous versions of the Zaurus were above $500, and didn't seem to provide the kind of whiz-bang features that would differentiate it from similar PalmOS and WinCE based devices.
On the down side, the SL-5500 still has a bad battery life, one of the key features in portable devices. No word if the device supports rechargeable batteries. But at the sub-$200 price level it's an attractive device.
