This is Flash storage, so it should survive battery failure. A separate 65MB is available for running applications. There is handwriting recognition, as well as a soft keyboard. The user interface should be easily grasped by anyone familiar with icon-based systems. A 'Q' button at the bottom left of the main screen acts rather like the Windows Start Button, popping up a list of applications organised into a familiar-looking folder structure.
Performance The keyboard is comprised of QWERTY keys measuring around 8mm wide and 6mm tall; there's a row of slightly smaller number keys, plus an array of function and application shortcut keys. Sharp even finds room for a set of directional cursor keys in an inverted T shape.
The keys are tactile, and we found them comfortable and responsive. The surround to the keys is another matter: it is made of a soft material rather than a rigid one, and does not feel overly robust. ShirtPocket has tweaked the software to allow it to run in English, and in most cases the applications are absolutely fine.
One or two bits of Japanese remain here and there, but we found nothing critical during our tests. More of a concern in this respect is the keyboard. Your only options are to use stickers or live with the visual annoyance. In everyday use we were more than satisfied with the SL-C's general performance. The screen is very clear and bright, and we found battery life to be superb.
We set the screen to stay on constantly and fixed it at half brightness, set the speaker to its highest volume, and looped MP3s. In this mode, we got 6 hours 23 minutes of life from the 1,mAh Li-ion battery, which compares well to other handhelds we've tested. As they stand, these are highly functional devices, if somewhat expensive due to the need to pay import fees. The price probably puts these handhelds out of reach of all but Linux PDA enthusiasts.
Perhaps this is not such a bad thing, as Linux is not as easy to manage as either Palm OS or Windows Mobile , and newcomers to handheld devices should probably steer clear. Prospective purchasers should read the company's site thoroughly.
We should also stress once more that this product is not officially supported by Sharp in the UK, and if you're attracted by it, then be aware that your only contact and source of support is ShirtPocket.
