-Significance of Monochrome Zaurus As
reported on PC Watch , Sharp announced the higher specification color Zaurus of Zaurus and plans to release it on June 25th.
Color Zaurus has greatly enhanced functions as an information gathering device such as a digital camera card and access to the Internet, and is said to be different from the conventional Zaurus (hereinafter referred to as “monochrome Zaurus” for easy distinction). It is a good product. The price starts from 120,000 yen, which is close to the cheapest model of Toshiba’s Windows 95 laptop “Libretto 20” , which is 178,000 yen.
However, if you look only at the personal information management tool, there is no shortage of monochrome Zaurus. Sharp himself has announced that Monochrome Zaurus will continue to develop.
● What kind of models are available?
Currently, only two models, PI-6000 (released in ’95 / 8) and PI-7000 (released in ’96 / 2), are listed in the Monochrome Zaurus catalog. Models before this are only in stock, and there are few opportunities to see them at stores except for some disc count shops. However, there is a model called PI-6000FX that was bundled with a fax modem when the PI-6000 was released, and since it was sold until recently, it is still sold in stores as an active machine.
To briefly summarize the difference between PI-6000 and PI-7000
- Display is 30 digits (6000 is 20 digits, the same applies below)
- Built-in fax modem (sold separately, CD-FM5 (16,000 yen))
- Auto login to NIFTY-Serve and PC-VAN is possible (NIFTY-Serve only)
- Angel line (directory assistance service) with search function (without)
- With (without) pager message function
