Sharp NetWalker PC-T1 drops QWERTY, gains handwriting recognition

Chris Davies, Apr 19th 2010 Discuss [0]

Sharp have outed a new, keyboard-free version of their NetWalker PC-Z1 MID, in the shape of the touchscreen-only NetWalker PC-T1. The Z1 was pretty much the epitome of a niche device, with its ultra-compact keyboard making it unsuitable for anything more than the occasional pecking out of emails; in its footsteps, the similarly 5-inch 1024 x 600 T1 gets an onscreen keyboard and handwriting recognition.

Sharp Netwalker PC-Z1 hands-on

Ewdison Then, Jan 7th 2010 Discuss [0]

While we were checking out Freescale’s Smartbook Tablet reference design earlier, the team there whipped out the Sharp Netwalker PC-Z1 and asked if we wanted to play with another device based on their mobile chipsets. It seemed rude to say no; after all, this distinctive little clamshell packs a 5-inch touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard along with its 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor. Check out our first-impressions after the cut.

Kohjinsha PA MID priced out of the market?

Chris Davies, Oct 26th 2009 Discuss [0]

Kohjinsha's PA-series MID may have satisfied us that the company is at least listening to critique about form-factor and usability - unlike other mini-notebooks, such as the UMID mbook m1 and Sharp’s NetWalker, it has a rotating touchscreen for use as a slate - but they still seem to have their fingers in their ears when it comes to pricing. According to WOW-POW, the PA MID will come in at 69,800 yen, which works out to a whopping $760. Read The Full Story

Kohjinsha PA-series MID adds swivel-screen to mini-notebook

Chris Davies, Oct 6th 2009 Discuss [0]

Kohjinsha may have filled their MID niche with a rebadged UMID mbook m1, but that hasn't stopped their own engineers from coming up with a homegrown alternative. The Kohjinsha PA-series takes the same mini-clamshell form-factor of the m1 and Sharp's NetWalker, but throws in a convertible display for using the MID as a slate. Read The Full Story

Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 lands for unboxing, MID comparison

Chris Davies, Sep 29th 2009 Discuss [0]

Sharp's NetWalker PC-Z1 may not be the device for everyone - after all, a 5-inch touchscreen clamshell MID with a tiny QWERTY keyboard and 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor makes it a pretty niche handheld - but most people can appreciate a mini-laptop so we're pleased to see the first unboxing over at Pocketables. Jenn of course is no stranger to MIDs, in fact she has a UMID mbook M1 on hand to compare the PC-Z1 with. Read The Full Story

Kohjinsha PM MID vs. Sharp PC-Z1 NetWalker

Chris Davies, Sep 17th 2009 Discuss [0]

MIDs are, despite the extra attention Viliv's range has drawn to the segment, still very much a niche within a niche, but most of us can at least admire the hard work that goes into squeezing a full PC into a tiny little chassis. It's with that in mind that we've been enjoying PC Watch's comparison photoset of the Kohjinsha PM MID (aka the UMID mbook M1) versus Sharp's PC-Z1 NetWalker. Read The Full Story

Sharp PC-Z1 NetWalker MID gets video demo:

Chris Davies, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

Sharp's diminutive PC-Z1 NetWalker impressed us when we first spotted it, and Charbax's video hands-on with the compact MID has done nothing to disappoint. The ARM-based device has a 5-inch touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard and optical mouse, and will land in Japan sometime this month; according to the Sharp representative interviewed, they're hoping to bring it to Europe, too.

Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 MID lands in Japan next month

Chris Davies, Aug 27th 2009 Discuss [0]

Looking surprisingly like UMID's mbook M1 MID, Sharp have unveiled their newest clamshell ultraportable and - thank goodness - it's not just an e-dictionary. The Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 has a 5-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard with optical mouse, and Ubuntu 9.04 as the OS; connectivity includes WiFi b/g, both a USB and mini-USB port, and a headphone jack, but there's no integrated 3G.
