When Fujitsu-Siemens announced they’d be making a netbook, many ears pricked up. The company has a long history of ultraportable devices, and still makes one of the more appealing UMPCs; many hoped some of that innovation would follow through to the Amilo Mini Ui 3520. One landed on the SlashGear test bench recently, and we thought it only fair to put it through its paces.
Forgive me if my Pre and iPhone 3GS lusts wane a little, I’ve just seen NTT DoCoMo’s latest super-phone, the Fujitsu F-09A. Packing a 3.4-inch sliding and rotating touchscreen, 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus, smile-detection and high-speed FOMA and 3G GSM connectivity.
Fujitsu have announced their M2010 netbook, a 10.1-inch Intel Atom N270-based ultraportable with up to 2GB of RAM, standard Bluetooth and a claimed 50-second start-up into Windows XP Home. The company is aiming the M2010 at the educational market, with what’s said to be a more durable build to cope with kids.
The Windows 7 RC testing continues, and after we’ve seen how reasonably it runs on an Atom N270 netbook its time to turn to a slightly more niche gadget. Fujitsu’s U820 UMPC (aka the Loox U/B50N, aka the U2010) may be small enough to lose under a hamster, but it gets a new lease of life with Windows 7: Steve from UMPC Portal has been testing it out, and he’s finding longer battery life, faster boot-up and improved touchscreen functionality versus Vista.

Toshiba and Fujitsu recently came to an agreement regarding a transfer of Fujitsu’s hard disk drive business to Toshbia, and both companies announced today the terms of this deal, including when it will be completed and what will take place.
Fujitsu are the first to outfit a model from their ultraportable range with the Intel Atom Z550 running at 2GHz. The Fujitsu LOOX U – variously known as the LifeBook U820 and U2010 in different markets – can now be specified with the faster Atom chip; the existing 1.33GHz Z520 and 1.60GHz Z530 options remain.
If you are looking for a way to protect your personal information so that you know for sure it will be safe, you might want to consider the latest device to come from Fujitsu Labs. It’s called a Secure USB Memory Device and this gadget makes good and sure your data is secure.
Fujitsu Siemens have announced three new workstations under its Celsius brand, all using Intel’s latest Xeon processors. The Celsius M470, R570 and R670 are all multi-core capable, support up to 24GB, 48GB and 96GB of RAM respectively, and dual graphics.
After successful trials earlier on in the year, Fujitsu has finally put its FLEPia color e-book reader on sale. The FLEPia has an 8-inch XGA-resolution 260,000 color display, paired with both WiFi b/g and Bluetooth connectivity, and a casing just 12.5mm deep at its thickest.
Fujitsu have announced a new notebook in their LifeBook range, setting itself the arduous task of “bringing colors back to life”. The Fujitsu LifeBook A1120 attempts that resuscitation with three interchangeable lids, while underneath lurks an Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 processor, up to 4GB of memory and up to 250GB of SATA 5,400rpm hard-drive.
