Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 unboxed

Sharp’s NetWalker PC-Z1 has just been unboxed, and it would be interesting to see which party would pick up this device considering it comes with a paltry 5″ display alongside a full QWERTY keyboard. When posed beside a can of Coke, it looks absolutely small, so good luck trying to get your fingers used to its tiny keyboard. Apparently it will run on Ubuntu Linux, and does skirt the line between a super small netbook and a Mobile Internet Device. Powered by an 800MHz Freescale i.MX515 processor, you get 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory and a 1,024 x 600 resolution display. Better luck picking a proper netbook with its $590 price tag.
