It’s been almost two months since Fujitsu’s U820 UMPC (aka U2010) cleared the FCC, and it’s still yet to show up for sale in the US. Now at least a small sign of the compact touchscreen convertible has turned up, in the support section of Fujitsu’s US site.
The U820 is referred to as an option in the drop-down model selection list, and there’s already a BIOS update – dated July 31st – available for it. The other links seen in the screenshot take you to the U810 page, so no new information there.
The general specs of the U820 are believed to be an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 5.6-inch WXGA 1280 x 800 touchscreen and of course a QWERTY keyboard. Other details – such as storage, use of hard-drive or SSD, RAM amount and wireless options – vary according to country, and there’s no telling what Fujitsu USA will decide to put on offer.

The New 820 is also known as the U2010 in other regions, GPS is included in korea and has just become available in singapore @S$1948 compared to the normal s$1688 price, 3G can be added manually either via the CF slot (which finally solved the high cpu/low speed issues of the previous u810 model ) or mini PCI ( officially with built in mini-pci and independent sim slot ( under battery ) or unofficially with novatel EV mini-PCIe upgrade.
NeutralGPS and 3G cannot coexist internally due to single slot, and the fingerprint reader can be used to scroll up/down in web pages…. all in all a great machine for ultra-mobile use – wifi-n, Gig-e and 5-7 hrs with extended bat .

Yep, U820 finally hit the US. It’s cheaper to get it here, though because they don’t charge sales tax and the prices are lower too than at Fujitsupc.com:
