	Other problem seems to be in the charging code; it only checks battery temperature once, and only seems to stop charging if temperature is too high. But li-ions should not be charged in too low temperatures, either. (I have summer here just now, but could someone mamybe get temperature values from spitz at cca 5 degrees Celsius?)

 Sharp has introduced a new model in its Zaurus line of Linux PDAs. The SL-C1000 is similar to the SL-C3000, but without an internal harddrive. As with previous Japan-only Zaurus models, the SL-C1000 will be available with internationalization features from a number of global resellers.
-The SL-C1000 is based on a 416MHz Intel PXA270 processor. It boots from 128MB of Flash, and includes 64MB of RAM. The 3.7-inch color VGA touchscreen (640 x 480) supports 65K colors. The keyboard uses a stardard QWERTY layout.

 The SL-C1000 includes memory slots for SD/MMC cards, as well as for CompactFlash cards. Additional I/O includes IrDA, USB, and LAN ports. It measures 4.9 x 3.4 x 1 inches (124 x 87 x 25mm), and weighs 10 oz (278 grams).

-Any of BTUART pins can be used as usualy GPIO pins. This is so called alternate GPIO function and is described in intel's datasheet. So when BTUART is disabled all its pins are working as just any other GPIO pins. And BTUART is disabled by default in kernel source.

 That explains why it gets away with 1A wall charger -- when collie used 2A charger. Also... wifi card I'm using is nastier than I thought. It draws 220mA when active, which would be kind-of expected, but it also draws 70mA when not active. Ouch.
-Plus, I got zipit z2 to play with. So far, I'm not too impressed. Yes, device is light and probably cheap, but... it uses obscure miniSD card format, and not even its keyboard works properly -- as soon as you start typing faster, it will loose keystrokes or confuse them. Not good for IM machine...

		+	For the Zaurus a special kernel+initramfs has been developed. This special-purpose kernel is small enough to be flashed on NAND and features a framebuffer graphical menu for the selection of boot media containing the kernel to be kexec'ed. Multi-partition cards and lots of filesystems are supported. The kernels to be launched are searched for in /boot of each available partition. There is a also a configuration file (/boot/boot.cfg) which allows selection of other kernels, custom kernel command lines, and specifies the label and the icon for each instance.
		+
		+	=== How to install ===
		+
		+	put zaurus-installer-YOURMACHINE.tar.gz on a free (FAT or EXT2/3 formatted) partition: the package MUST contains the kexecboot-kernel and the updater.sh utility.
