[comp.sys.laptops] Handheld/pocket computer models?

Could someone please enlighten me as to the models available in the
Sharp and Casio handheld ranges?

In Australia in the Sharp range we seem to have (at least all I've seen..):
IQ7000 - 32k RAM, the original model(?), data transfer, application cards
IQ7200 - 64k RAM, just the same with more memory(?)

ZQ???? - wide screen, qwerty keyboard, RAM?, data transfer?, cards?

In the Casio range, I've seen:
SF7500 - 64k RAM, wide screen, data transfer
SF7000 - 32k RAM, same
SF8000 - 64k RAM, same as the SF7500 but with raised keys
SF4500 - 32k RAM, small screen, no data comms
SF4000 - 32k RAM, same as SF4500 with reduced functions
SF3500 - 16k RAM, same as SF4000

Now there has been some mention of other models in both ranges, but I haven't
seen them. If some kind soul could email me a list of what is available, then 
I might be able to make a decision on which to buy. The card feature of the
Sharp IQ range appeals, the Casio PC based software seems to allow the same
functionality on your desktop (which appeals), and some of the Casio functions
seem 'nicer'. Anyway, any info would be greatly appreicated.
