Sharp Japan has today a new entry into ultra-mobile PCs with the PC-Z1, unlike the Netwalker known. Unlike most UMPCs, which are based on either Windows or Linux versions of the custom, the PC-Z1 Ubuntu Linux 9:04 used as a platform.

The process is carried i.MX515 800MHz Freescale CPU, there exist only 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory when a microSD memory card slot, users can extend it by another 16GB. Users communicate through a 5-inch, 1024×600 resolution touch screen and the device is also light on under 1lb. The very small form factor makes it ultra-portable device, while a built-in Wi-Fi connection can access the Internet away from these locations.

The Netwalker can boot into a fast start-up screen in about 3 seconds, allowing users to quickly meet e-mails and other low-key tasks. There are 68 keys on the keyboard of tightly packed UMPCs, Sharp, and claims a 10-hour battery life.

I am a big fan Netbook, I like the portability of the machines and each Netbook I’ve been trying to do everything I need a computer to do this side of the game. With the flood of Netbook on the market, manufacturers try everything from bright colors to odd functions to their machines almost identical apart from the pack.

One of the strangest features I’ve seen on a Netbook, the secondary LCD track pad, based on the Sharp Mebius NJ netbook I talked last week. The small secondary display accepts handwriting and converts it into text on the screen. If you like the cool factor of the Netbook NJ, you can here in America soon.

Sharp apparently not directly linked to New Jersey in the U.S., but the importer dynamics Netbook offers for sale to the American geeks.
