Sharp is readying the next generation of its Linux-based Zaurus handheld computer.

The Zaurus SL-6000 has a built-in 802.11b Wi-Fi radio, according to Sharp officials. It features 64MB of RAM, a high-resolution color screen, a built-in QWERTY keyboard, and CF and SD expansion slots. Sharp will be selling an add-on cellular modem for the CF slot so that Zaurus can work on WANs, too.

To court corporate customers, Sharp has teamed with IBM to develop a version of the SL-6000 that runs IBMs WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager software, which allows for wireless access to corporate applications.

The SL-6000 is due early next year.
