applications such as Documents, Contacts, and DataFiles. Maps,
sketches, signatures, logos, and even company letterhead can be imbedded
within these applications. This allows users to easily create letters,
reports, and other professional looking documents.
All these capabilities are packed into one of the smallest devices on the
market. At 6.7" x 3.9" x 1.0" and weighing only 13.6 ounces, the Zaurus
easily fits in a sports coat pocket or purse.
Zaurus offers substantial storage memory that can be used for add-on
software programs. PC-based development tools, available later in 1995, will
enable third-party software developers, value added resellers, and vertical
market resellers to develop customized applications, for the
Zaurus mobile computing platform.
Sharp and a number of third parties have already announced plans to introduce
numerous add-on software programs throughout 1995 and beyond.
Available in late January 1995, the ZR-5000 Zaurus has a suggested retail
price of $749 for the base unit. The ZR-5000FX, which includes the CE-FM4
fax/modem, has a suggested retail price of $849. For more information, call
