Details emerge on Sharp's Linux-PDA program
Jun. 01, 2001

According to a well-placed source . . .
The widely-anticipated prototype of Sharp's PDA device will be on display at Booth #613 of JavaOne in San Francisco next week to attract application development

The new platform is based on Java Application environment language, running on top of an embedded Linux OS

The exterior of the prototype will be of the Japan-market Zaurus but it will run on the Java/Linux platform

At JavaOne, Sharp will announce the launch of a detailed program to spur application development for its upcoming PDA devices

A program website will be operational Monday (June 4, 2001) at developer.sharpsec.com, where there will be details on support, prototype availability, contests, and incentives

Sharp will announce working agreements with three software development companies for application development in addition to Amiga, already announced

Further details will be disclosed regarding the Sharp/Lineo collaboration on development of an embedded Linux OS for the next-generation Sharp PDA.
