I had no problem with syncing up to qtopia with my 5600, but the C860 has no way to sync on Linux. But yeah, using usbnet, with an updated rom, it was easy to ssh in from my workstaiton. And surf via wireless or usb network. I'd skip the SL6000. I played a bit with one and it's HUGE! The new C3000 - c860 with a builtin 4 GB hard drive is a better choice. See - http://www.bargainpda.com/default.asp?newsID=2314 But Sharps are really for geeks. If you want mainstream PDA functionality with minimal fiddling, it's not for you. If you want a device you can upgrade, tweak, customize, even put Gentoo on (I had Gentoo on my c860 for a bit) then there is nothing like the Sharp PDAs. btw - they have the best audio outputs. They put mobile mp3/ogg players to shame. Plus they play videos. Bob -- -- [email protected] mailing list
