Zaurus C3100, Mine :)

[I Like My UX50!]

Finally :) It just came w/ the wi-fi card. In comparing with the UX50, the Zaurus is quite abit bigger--but not significantly so. I know I am rambling, but... :p I never had a problem w/ UX's screen size, but this is alot better. And it is quite bright & legible. While UX50 felt like a laptop, this truely feels like one. Can't wait to play with it later:D

Back to palm & UX50 ;)

Ha,

To, "I love....?

I still like my UX50. It's just that...

Wait. They are like my kids. And all kids are diff, & special in their own ways, right? I shouldn't show any favoritism ;)

So what is your reation to it compared to the UX.

Actually, they are alike in many ways, so I am actually trying to make the Zaurus into a mini laptop--with USB hosting capacity, & the ability to add sd/cf/microdrives, there is alot to offer. I am definitely getting a 4/6 gb card, dvd/cdrw drive for it, a mini mouse, & a ext KB (even though I prefer C3100 KB over UX50). I may even get a VGA-USB adapter, but not too sure on that.

All that actually tempted me too sell UX50, C3100, & I2 Station & just get a Libretto U101/U105. The price should be just perfect, if I sell them & buy it on eBay. Just too much wires & mess ;)

W/ C3100, you can even make it turn into a full fledged Linux machine. That is if you are knowlegeble in Linux/have plenty of time--which I am not :D.

So, right now, I use my UX50 more than C3100. It's just that I already have lots of apps & softwaters for UX that are not available to Linux--like mybible for ex--that I have gotten comfortable with. There are TONS of freewares for C3100, though. And you can customize the hack with the Zaurus.

I've decided not to get the Zaurus due mainly to the lack of Wireless at the set prices. Although the TX does not have a keyboard, I've decided that carrying around a Wireless keyboard (if I decide to get one) is better than Wireless cards and memory cards. They can be lost easier. I also like the sleek look of the TX. I also wanted to break from tradition and try something, I wanted to try when I first saw PDAs. My first PDA would have been a Visor Platinum or M505 if my parents actually allowed me to try them when I asked for them. But it ended up being the Treo 90, which started my keyboard addiction.

To read up more on why I chose the Palm TX.

I think you made a wise --safe & very affordable--choice too. Though from what I have heard, it will most likely be great, but.. please tell me how the emu runs on TX. C3100 is great with the roms :)

I have decided to fix my UX50, I mean UX40, by sending it to the repair center for wi-fi & broken speaker wires. One sane part in my mind is asking why I shouldn't just use the UX50 as it is (since I have the wi-fi stick), & instead use that money & alittle extra (like $40 or so) for a used TX. But as my sig says, I really like my UX50 so (truely swiss army knife that is nearly unmatched)... And Zaurus can take care of the emus.

See, I'm a person who can't take multiple devices all around the place due to I don't enjoy devices that way. I have to be dedicated to one device and that one device only. I can't have a PSP, iPod, PDA etc. Its just too much. If the Zodiac had WiFi and was still in business, I would have gotten that, but due to it isn't, I decided to stick with a product thats still being supported.

According to Dimitry, the SNES roms work great for him with hacks that are available. Also, if I can't play a lot of SNES games, I'll be disappointed but its still an update due to better battery life, sleeker, nice black look, larger screen and cheaper memory. Also, I'm not writing papers as much anymore.

The C3100 is great but its expensive and has no WiFi or BT. The TX come with both and is cheaper. This is what really annoyed me. The fact that the Zauruses are really bulky (especially the SL-C1000 even though it lacks a HDD) is somewhat annoying to me due to I hate when my UX + EB bulges my pocket out. The TX won't case that problem (as much).

[I Like My UX50!]

Actually, it's not as bulky as you may think. It is less thicker than UX+EB battery--and the diff is not slight. If you have both for comparison, you can see the diff right away. And it fits in most pockets, as long as you don't wear jeans ;)

I do agree with having one stuff to carry though. I don't know what to carry around sometimes :confused:
