mySTEP CommentaryDell Axim X50 - Version: 1.11, 9/17/2005 03:06PM PST

I'm quite excited about this. It would seem that this very software would make it possible to do the same things with a Dell Axim and so forth once they get Linux working properly with it since the Zarus just runs Linux. Also, it also may be possible to use some of the other Zarus tools on a Dell, etc. once these issues get sorted out. Just wanting to throw this out to show that there is more potential for this software than meets the eye!!!

mySTEP Troubleshooting ReportZaurus - Version: 1.8, 9/16/2004 07:05AM PST

The Zaurus is really cool -- why isn't anyone getting into it? Why the lack of comments, users, people interested in using this great tool? It's frustrating... It can do 99% of the things a laptop can, yet there's not nearly enough people bothering to get one and play with it!

mySTEP ReviewA Macintosh PDA! - Version: 1.5, 2/27/2004 04:40AM PST

Revenant--2008
This is an amazing achievement! On the basis of what has been created here, the Sharp Zaurus PDA essentially becomes a Cocoa-based mini-Macintosh. The possibilities are limitless.
I think the creator should consider contacting Sharp and/or Apple directly about licensing this software so that both companies might work on developing this product.
I look forward to seeing what develops from this project!
