"The PDA design hasn't been changed since the Zaurus SL-C700, but weight and size gained much because of built-in HDD and a higher capacity battery. When folded up the PDA looks like a tiny notebook, when you meet it for the first time, you automatically start looking for a mouse, a touchpad or something of the kind. In general, the design of the SL-C3100 can be compared with Tablet PC: its sensor screen can be revolved at 180 degrees (in one direction). Following the revolving we see some metamorphosis happening to the device: from a keyboard mini notebook the device transforms into a PDA without the keyboard, and the screen picture changes orientation to portrait one. In this mode it's very comfortable to read books or work with applications, which do not require much text input. This PDA lies in hand like an ordinary Pocket PC. However, it's somewhat bigger, and the scrolling wheel partially compensates for its big size. " Read this great review at mobile-review.com
