Sharp’s NetWalker is Quite the Tiny Netbook

Some netbooks are so small, you can hardly call them netbooks anymore, like this Netwalker PC-Z1 from Sharp. With a screen that measures just five inches, it’s a lot smaller than even the 7-inch Eee PCs we used to see back in the day. The Netwalker runs on Ubuntu, and boasts a 3-second boot time and up to 10 hours of battery life. Less impressive features include an 800MHz Freescale chip, 4GB of flash storage and 512MB of RAM. At $500, it’s actually more expensive than what you’d pay for a bigger, more powerful netbook, but we understand some people have a thing for tiny PCs. Release date for Japan is September 25, with no word on a U.S. release. [Liliputing via BB Gadgets]
