I see it uses some memory card I've never heard of, "xD Picture Card."
A quick Google and I find there are some adapters for it. For example,
with this:

Olympus xD to Compact Flash Adapter
http://www.memorysuppliers.com/olxdtocomfla.html

....you could probably mount the xD card on any PDA capable of reading
Compact Flash (like the Zaurus SL model you mentioned, as well as all of the
other, cheaper Zaurus models which DON'T do USB host... ;^) ... and, of
course, iPAQs and probably some kinds of PalmOS PDAs, and so forth.)

Good luck!
