Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Instruction Manual page 6

my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
I also got a pack of spare stylus so I can leave one at the office. In addition, I
bought the Belkin 4-in-1 stylus for around AUD $39. It is the size of a normal pen
so it feels quite natural to use. When you use it, you get the feeling that the stylus
tip is very soft and won't damage your screen. The tip can also be retracted like
most pen by a simple twist and it even has a pen built-in that can be used to write.
On the other end there is a light and a laser pointer. The laser pointer is quite handy
since I do quite a lot of presentations and the light is pretty cool and helps in the
dark. An exact copy of the Belkin 4-in-1 can also be found at Jaycar for half the
price, and for an even cheaper copy, try Vietnam where you can get it for around
AUD $10 only. The copies also come in a wooden pen box with extra spare batteries as well.
so I can use the CF cards in my Laptop too. The Zaurus made my All-in-One USB card reader
redundant, however, I also bought a 4-in-1 CF adaptor which allows me to use additional memory
cards in my Zaurus such as my 2GB memory stick duo. I also got the new 2GB SanDisk Ultra II
plus USB which is a mini SD card with a USB adaptor stuck on it so you can use it as a normal SD
as well as a USB stick.
Finding a Leather Carrying Case that fit the C3000/C3100 was another
challenge. The normal PDA cases were not made for the C3000/C3100
but I eventually found a leather carrying bag for cameras that was
perfect. It even had a little pouch on the front for my CF cards and could
be attached to a belt or hung around the neck. The Tamrac Digital
Camera Bag is made of ballistic nylon and genuine leather. It costs AUD
$45
And here is my Zaurus (C3000) in all its glory surrounded with gadgets for it.

X windows on the Z. The keyboard I normally only use with my Zaurus
when I need to type a lot. Almost any standard USB keyboard should
work with the Zaurus. The keymapping needs some
adjustments since the Zaurus keymapping layout is
Japanese and not English by default but this can be easily
changed since it is mainly QWERTY based.
Photos from my digital camera can be easily transferred to the Zaurus either
via USB connection (using the Avico or GoldX cables) or by directly inserting
the SD Memory Card from the camera into the Zaurus' SD slot. Some of my
other cameras use CF Memory Cards, but the Zaurus has a slot for them as
well. I also got myself a few additional SD and CF cards, in particular, the
4GB Kingston CF card and the 4GB pqi SD card. Now I got several SD and
CF memory cards to swap in and out, and I also got a Kodak PCMCIA adaptor
I also bought a Joytech PSP power extender and since it has the same
plug and power requirements as the Zaurus, I can use it with either my
Zaurus or PSP to extend the battery power on a long haul flight. In addition,
I bought an AC to USB adaptor which has several uses, ie charging my
Zaurus, my Mobile phone, or powering my USB hardisk via a USB y-cable.
