Peter Kis writes “As LinuxGear.info writes, there’s a new ROM Version for the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 available. The 3.10 is supposed to get the SL-5500 as close to the SL-5600 as possible. Here’s a translation of LinuxGear’s news (the original article’s in German):”The new SL-5500 ROM (V.3.10) was released last night. After sharp hadn’t been able to stick to the last release date due to some last-minute bug fixing, it’s nice to see the probably most eagerly anticipated SL-5500 ROM finally released.
The new ROM is supposed to fix most of the problems that users had with the original (V 2.x) ROMS the SL-5500 was shipped with.
There is, however, one major drawback: there’s no new Linux version of the Qtopia Desktop software yet, that’ll probably take another couple of days.”Faster and improved synchronization
