question of the day
underwater tv
Fujitsu's upgrading their already awesome F703i waterproof phone to add a 2.7-inch screen, HSDPA, 2-megapixel camera and underwater TV action. Honestly, now that Fujitsu's pushed the bar for cellphones into the underwater TV realm, we're not satisfied with any phone that doesn't have this. 3G iPhone? Does it have underwater TV? Then good day to you, sir.

Fujitsu's AMILO GraphicBooster External Graphics Card For Easy Laptop Upgrades
Fujitsu is set to launch an external graphics card solution dubbed the "AMILO GraphicBooster" sometime in the "next few weeks." Unfortunately, this information was leaked from a presentation, so there isn't a whole lot in the way of details—but we do know that the GraphicBooster is based on ATI XGP technology, it will allow users to connect up to three external displays to their notebook, DVI-D and HDMI connections are included, and it can reportedly deliver a 4.7X performance improvement over the graphics of a small form factor AMILO notebook.

Fujitsu U2010 Packs An Atom, Too
The Intel Atom-based UMPCs are finally rolling out, but not all of them are as inexpensive as we'd hoped. Fujitsu—never known for their budget systems—has announced their latest UMPC featuring a 5.6-inch rotating (touchscreen?), "3.5G" wireless and GPS. The catch? It's $1,300 in Taiwan. Even with the extras and the Fujitsu name, that's just way more than we want to spend on a 5.6-inch lappie with that feature set. Then again, at 1.3lbs, it's about a pound lighter than the original Eee. And that counts for something. [Digitimes via CrunchGear]

World's First High-Def Train Simulator Makes Train Operating Uber-Realistic
Train operators-in-training will no longer have to deal with plain, unrealistic, standard-definition simulations thanks to a new system that uses full HD video. Jointly developed by Fujitsu and video game maker Ongakukan, the world's most advanced train simulator uses variable-speed playback technology and HD video that was shot on actual train lines. More »

Phoenix Enables Users to Remotely Track, Disable and Erase Data From Fujitsu Drives
Phoenix Technologies has announced that they are currently working with Fujitsu in an effort to bring users equipped with Fujitsu's new full disk encryption (FDE) 2.5" 7200RPM SATA hard disk drive the ability to remotely track, disable and even erase their drive in the event that the laptop is ever stolen. According to Phoenix, their new "FailSafe" technology is "the industry's strongest security method for mobile computing" and their encryption capabilities will "ensure data on the disk drive is inaccessible to unauthorized users."

Fujitsu Siemens has developed a new monitor that claims to use zero power in standby mode. This money-saving monitor miracle is made possible thanks to a built-in switch that shuts down the monitor completely when a signal from the computer is absent—and then abruptly brings it back to life when the signal reappears. This sort of technology will prove especially useful for businesses, which is why Fujitsu is aiming squarely at this market when the monitor is released this summer. Fortunately for the rest of us, this new model will sell for the same price as conventional monitors. [Physorg via Treehugger]

The iMac has spawned a couple of lookalikes in the past, but none quite so similar to it as Fujitsu's new FMV F-A50. Ok, so it's the previous gen white iMac we're talking about, but look at that slot-loading DVD drive... right where it should be! We almost prefer the design of the Fujitsu's stand too, since it allows you to adjust the height of the unit as well as the tilt: one better than the iMac. Check out its specs below, after ogling its sleekness in the gallery.

Fujitsu Gets Into the Wooden Laptop Business for Milan Furniture Show
This rather worthy-looking laptop is Fujitsu's WoodShell. Made with cedar wood, it's part of the Japan Design Innovation 2008 exhibit at the Salone Internazionale Del Mobile in Milan, an event for furniture strokers everywhere. There's a picture of the WoodShell with its lid down below, and you've got to love Fujitsu's take on a generic 70s sci-fi font, not to mention its black-and-red-ness. More »

T Pities Fool Who Bids on Hacked Fujitsu U810 With Live Virus "Still Present"
Shane Macaulay, the hacker who beat a Vista-powered Fujitsu in last week's CanSec West PWN 2 OWN contest has listed the UMPC—with virus "still likely present"—on eBay. Some say this might be Macaulay's idea of a joke, but T doesn't think it's funny when hackers joke around with exploits, especially an Adobe Flash exploit that might "affect 90 percent of computers worldwide." Mac's alleged rationale:This laptop is a good case study for any forensics group/company/individual that wants to prove how cool they are, and a live example, not canned of what a typical incident responce sitchiation [sic] would look like.Note: We can't spot an April 1 listing of any Fujitsu U810 on eBay.

Linux Last Man Standing In PWN 2 OWN Thunderdome
The dust has settled on PWN 2 OWN and Linux FTW! The Ubuntu-equipped Sony VAIO was the only computer to get through the tournament unscathed, managing to elude the assembled hackers. On Thursday the MacBook Air was the first to go, followed the next day by the Vista-running Fujitsu, conquered by Shane Macaulay. No one, but no one, however, was able to bring down the penguin.

Fujitsu's 7200rpm 2.5-Inch Drives First to Hit 320GB
Today, Fujitsu introduced its MHZ2 BJ drives (heh, heh...BJ), the first 2.5" 7200rpm hard drives to reach the 320GB capacity. They'll be available at the end of June, for an as-yet unannounced price, and will support the SATA 3Gbps interface. So now when go trick out your laptop, you're gonna have a full-on headache trying to decide between maximum HDD spin speed, maximum capacity—at this point 500GB at 5400rpm— and of course the higher-priced SSD alternatives.

Fujitsu F705i is World's Slimmest, Waterproof 3G Cellphone
You may think the groovy chick in the top pic is trying to drown the new Fujitsu F705i cellphone, but you would be negating the fact that the F705i is the world's slimmest waterproof 3G cellphone. Sitting pretty at 13.7mm thick, the Fujitsu handset can handle a 1-meter water submersion for 30 minutes. Check out the rest of the mega gallery after the jump. More »

Updated with battery life stats, by popular demand. We can all agree that the MacBook Air is a slick-looking little laptop. It's so thin! You can't argue with that! But if you're in the market for a small, high-performance laptop, is it the best option? I pored over specs for four similarly positioned and more-or-less similarly priced laptops to see if you'll get your $1,800 worth out of the Air. Let's go to the chart, shall we?

Fujitsu LifeBook U810 and T2010 Ultra-Portables Get Built-In HSUPA
Fujitsu has announced that the LifeBook U810 UMPC and the ultra-portable LifeBook T2010 convertible notebooks have been upgraded to include a built-in cellular modem capable of accessing AT&T's BroadbandConnect High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) network. That means users can enjoy upload speeds between 500 Kbps and 800 Kbps and downloads between 600 to 1400 Kbps. [Fujitsu]

Fujitsu Goes For Light 'n' Sexy with LifeBook P8000
Fujitsu's never been the most beautiful laptop on the commuter jet, but the new LifeBook P8000 series, following in the footsteps of the P7000, is probably it's sexiest to date. It's got a high-gloss "diamond black" finish that sparkles a little but not too much. A thinner lid with LED backlighting—plus embedded webcam—conceals the fact that the new model's got a 12" screen rather than the 10.4" of its predecessor. The weight even went down, to just under 3 lbs., including both (1.8"?) hard drive and optical drive. Fujitsu reports that it gets 6.5 hours of battery life running Vista. The LifeBook P8010 will cost around $1,700 when it ships the first week in February. Not bad, Fujitsu. Not bad at all. [Fujitsu]
future tech
Fujitsu just unveiled a few futuristic concept gadgets, the most interesting of which is probably a fabric laptop. Sure, there's no word on just how they'll make a computer that's "soft, pliable, and can comfortably be carried like portfolio of paper," but it sure is a neat idea. The other concepts are an electronic card viewer, a salesclerk browser, and a customer browser. Check out the gallery below for big images and hit the jump for the official release.
