　Sharp Corporation announced the higher version “Color Zaurus” of Zaurus, which will be released on June 25th. I’m planning a day. 
　The Color Zaurus is a model that greatly expands the Zaurus in the multimedia direction, and is not only colorized, but also has greatly enhanced image, sound, and communication functions. Two models, MI-10 and MI-10DC, are available, and the only difference is the presence or absence of a digital still camera card. 
　Since its launch in October 1993, the Zaurus series has shipped 900,000 units in Japan and 170,000 units overseas. Color Zaurus is scheduled to ship 30,000 units every month, and 530,000 units are scheduled to be shipped domestically in 1996, including conventional models. The overseas shipment of Color Zaurus is undecided. 
　The conventional Zaurus series will also be sold together.
