I have a lot to learn about Sharp pocket computers history. I am a bit ashamed to say that, since Sharp has invented the first Basic pocket computer, but to my defense, i would say that Casio machines were better represented in my home town in the 80's so i grew up with Casio devices in focus and learned about Sharp ones much later.
So this will be a short description, as i know the PC-1500 has it's fans; they are numerous, and i wouldn't want to disregard the machine out of ignorance!
Sharp was already well engaged in the Basic computer business when the PC-1500 was released. I could not exacly say how this machine was positionned on the market, and at what time it was released, but what is clear is that, after pionneering the genre, Sharp had to face fierce competition from Casio on the Basic pocket computer playground.
The PC-1500 was designed during that cold war era and quickly gained enormous popularity worldwide. It is the machine that brought lots of today's IT engineers to programming, and remains a valuable memory to many of it's users.
I will welcome every testimony to enrich this page, since i don't have enough knownledge to complete it by myself! So if you've owned a PC-1500 and feel like sharing your experience or tech specs, please contact me!
