Here's a strange one... what is the difference (other than the names) between
the Sharp IQ-7000 and the Sharp OZ-7000?
I'm sitting here holding both in my hand. The IQ version has a label calling
it the "Electronic Organizer" while the OZ version has a label calling it the
more popular "Wizard." Otherwise they are identical twins (including the
instruction manuals.)
Unfortunately neither has batteries right now, so I can't boot them to check
for OS versions, etc.
Even if Sharp merely changed the name from Organizer to Wizard, why would they
bother drastically changing the model prefix from IQ- to OZ-?

I don't know about your IQ/OZ-7000 models, but I do know that the SL5500
and SL5000D sharp PDAs differed mostly in that the SL-5000D was the
developer's version. The SL5500 came with a bit more ROM/RAM and a
later version of Linux (yes, I said Linux - way cool), but other than
that they are pretty much the same. So, maybe it is something like
that. Also, Sharp seems to have different model numbers between
English/Japanese versions of things.

Well, who ever heard of the "Wizard of IQ"?

Japanese electronics manufacturers often used letter designations in the
model names to indicate the geographic market in which their products were
sold. However, your thought about the name change is also quite possible.
