Exactly the first thing I asked myself when I read the article, and found a serial cable for the Zaurus:
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10320919&loc=&rp=true $33.31 What this means is that for about $600 (Sharp Zaurus, Ten Tec RX-320, 12VDCtoAC power inverter) you get a truly mobile shortwave radio receiver that is computer controlled. I already bought a 12VDC to 3VAC power adapter for my Zaurus so I can run it in my car for about $15. Wow. What kind of car antenna should I get to attach to a unit like the Ten Tec RX-320 to get great reception?
