Linux: now it's official: the real successor of Zaurus SL-5500/5600 will come (SL-C750/C760 are clamshell design), hopefully also to Germany (Trisoft will make it possible). German Heise news site has an article about it. In short:

480x640 pixels, 16bit color deepth
Bluetooth and 802.11b-WLAN
CompactFlashII and SD/MMC
1500 mAh power
optional jacket with additional power and CF slot
USB 1.1 host port included (not only in cradle). This means you can plug any supported USB device, for example a large keyboard.
microphone and loudspeaker placement allows to use it as IP-mobile phone
probably X-scale CPU
64 MB flash ROM, 64 or 128MB RAM

UPDATE:: on zaurus.com board is a discussion about the new Zaurus which brings new information:

Sun Java instead of Jeode VM (as C7x0)
release date: early January (probably for US)
Power and rec button are on the left side
screen larger than C760 screen
on the fly rotation
here are pictures

Btw, Trisoft has some new CF cards:

CF-XGA card: display the screen of your Zaurus on television or beamer. It offers S-Video, Composite and 15pol-D-SUB plug. And it includes a remote control :-) . Price unknown.
CF Bluetooth adapter. Price: 80�
