Sharp Opera
Opera signed up Sharp as a new customer this week. Sharp will use the Linux-based Opera 5 browser in its Zaurus SL-5000D handheld computer. The device runs on an embedded Linux operating system and uses a Java application environment.
Lineo, Trolltech and Insignia Solutions provide the remaining software for the gadget. It uses 206MHz Intel StrongARM system-on-chip processor and features a built-in keyboard available underneath a sliding panel.

| Opera for the Zaurus : Comment 10 of 17 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Byron on 08-Nov-2001 15:54 GMT | Sharp IS a partner of Amiga, they have provided the technical support and
details Amiga needed to make DE work on several more devices, otherwise
known as the Zaurus PDAs and Sharps new Cell phone. There was nor never
any mention of Sharp shipping DE with the devices, the thing mentioned was
DE can run on them, just like it can run on the ipaq, the Casio line and
many many other PDAs and higher devices. The idea was, if all the good
stuff was on DE, then people'd pay the small price to install it and buy
the games which many in Japan do on a regular basis. Sharp hold a massive
market share in japan and with Amiga now having added support for DE on
Sharps product line that means a higher chance of sales. The fact is,
AmigaDE is a much better system for making and playing games on than Linux
or many of the other PDA OS's, Amiga and many more are betting its this
which will make AmigaDE a must have for people to buy for their devices, or
a must have for companies to bundle with their devices. The possible sales
are massive. Amiga is trying their best to get DE 1.0 ready for as many
devices as possible (much like rebol inc is doing with rebol) and they will
work as hard as they can to make it better every day. |
