This is a nice review of the SL-C3000, a much improved version over my Zaurus SL-C700. It runs on a processor that's two revs newer, the PXA-270 running at 416MHz, which is only 16MHz faster on the clock but lots faster with processor improvements and bug fixes that the later 760 and 860 had. The built in 4GB hard drive is wonderful. That leaves plenty of RAM for actually running applications and the CF card slot is still present for wireless options, although they should include WiFi and/or BT at some point, but the business of wireless is definitely different in Japan.

Given how long this has been out, I doubt I'd buy one at this point. My gadget budget is near non-existent these days and I'd probably rather get a new EV-DO phone (if only EV-DO was available in this area...) for some video-on-demand service. A new Archos would probably even beat out the SL-C3000, especially given all of it's multimedia capability and the fact that the latest ones run on Linux (PMA-400).
