I think Sharp would have to do something different. The 'hoax' looks 
enough like a Zaurus to be plausible, but the market is full of 
relatively cheap, thin, attractive, ARM based colour PDAs with 
bluetooth/wifi. Why bother? Their best chance is to launch a mid range 
clamshell based design for Europe and USA.

If you really want a tablet style PC with builtin networking, why not 
get an Ipaq or something similar? I hope Sharp have the guts to come up 
with something original and try to win some market share in the west.
