Ah, but the interesting thing is that they are coming out with a 'clam' version like the 5MX. Details are limited at the moment, but that could mean the combination of 5MX usability with a supported linux distro. I am drooling in anticipation. Sounds like a "I've finally finished my PhD and deserve a treat" situation to me :)
SL-C700, yes. I've been looking at that one too. Terminally cute... But I do wonder if you two are not actually talking about the same machine. Packing a full QWERTY keyboard in between F7-F12 of a normal keyboard has got to get a little cramped. For the uninitiated: http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/sharp-c700-review.html

Hi Dave Interesting indeed. I had a look at the Zaurus website. Nice looking machine, and the graphics appear to be very good. The main draw back based on the web pictures/video is that the key pad is small and cramped and really wouldn't allow the ease/efficiency of use the series 5 does.... but its getting closer to something that could be a replacement or advance on the series 5.
Interesting... and Sharp are coming out with a clam-verison of this PDA (i.e. like this Psion 5MX).
