Talk:Sharp Zaurus

message: I'm probably being too much of a fanboy in wanting to put this in the article, so I'm posting it here and someone with their passion for Zauruses well in check can decide what to do with it.
I find the Zaurus model naming convention, and particularly the names chosen, incredibly amusing.
The ones which amuse me most are:
Model          	Name    	Zaurus Breed traits                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  	Dog Breed traits
5000D / SL-5500	Collie  	Popular, well-known, affordable, consumer-level, first Linux PDA sold outside Japan                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  	Popular, well-known "family dog", "an intelligent dog who loves to work"
SL-5600 / B500 	Poodle  	Fancy-pants, souped-up Collie.  Has a fixable bug in its hardware.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   	Fancy-pants dog.  Intelligent enough to get bored and troublesome.
SL-C700        	Corgi   	Compact even for a Zaurus: it is in clamshell format. Only sold in Japan.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            	"Cor Gi" is Welsh for "Dwarf Dog" (according to Pembroke Welsh Corgi)
SL-C750        	Shepherd	Upgraded Corgis                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      	The German Shepherd and Husky look (to me) like upgaded Corgis :)
SL-C760        	Husky   	                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     	
C860           	Boxer   	                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     	
SL-6000        	Tosa    	(This is the model I have, hence my bias and fanboy-ism.) Upgraded Collie, sales in the US limited to corporations, then ceased.  Sharp things these are too powerful for "regular users".  Much more expensive and difficult to get support for.  Sharp's website is decidedly unhelpful to individuals looking for help for a 6000.	The Japenese Tosa Inu was specially bread for fighting, is a national treasure and is impossible for "normal people" to obtain.  See http://www.shaku1.com/tosa2.htm.
C1000          	Akita

I don't know of any way to work this into the article and maintain the Encyclopedic style so valued in a good WP article, so I'm throwing it out there for the community to mull over. --Crag 18:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Hey fellas! Is the Sharp Zaurus SL-6000 still available in the market? Thanks! ReluctantPhilosopher (talk) 07:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Available? 

message: Hi
I am the blogger who has twice now placed a link to my blog on this page, only to see it removed. My blog is a software resource for Sharp Zaurus machines. It consists of a collection of ipk files, which are Zaurus ports of popular open-source software, some of which have been compiled by me. Many of these ports take weeks (and in one famous case for me, several months to compile, test and package up -  few people have the skills and diligence to do this work). I have a further 14 or so applications that will either be ported by me or have been ported by someone else, and will be made available via my blog. These applications will then constitute a complete useful, scientific and mathematic software resource for the Zaurus. All of these ports will then be maintained by myself on an ongoing basis, for as long as possible. My blog will then be the only complete source for up-to-date versions of these applications for the Zaurus on the Internet.
I am not a commercial organization; I compile this software and make it available for free, for the good of the Zaurus community in my spare time - much like the editors of this esteemed publication. I make no money from these activities, and my blog contains no advertising. As such, this is a valid free resource (in precisely the same way the links to pdaXrom, Cacko and Angstrom are). 
I do not understand why these links have been removed - twice. In light of some of the links still in place, can somebody please explain to me exactly what policy has been contravened by my placing these links on this page and which is not contravened by the links already in place and previously mentioned?
Signed
A very frustrated Zaurus enthusiast and developer.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Portablepenguin (talk • contribs) 21:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
