Fujitsu’s “Zero-Watt” Monitor uses zero power in Standby Mode. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. That’s the claim anyway, and they seem to be sticking to it. I never use standby mode myself, as I seem to be physically attached to my PC. But others will be happy to hear this news.

This seeming miracle is made possible thanks to a built-in switch that shuts down the monitor completely when a signal from the computer is absent. It brings it back to life like a mad scientist when the signal reappears, without even uttering “It’s alive”. This technology will be great for businesses, and that’s the market Fujitsu is aiming for when the monitor is released this summer. This new model will sell for the same price as conventional monitors, which is good news for your wallet.

This is Fujitsu’s idea of what a laptop should look like in the forest. Otherwise known as “We need to get on board with this whole environmental green thing. We’re missing out on a ton of hippie money, guys. We can charge more for it too.”

To me it is a bit too reminiscent of the old wood school desks and chairs. I look at this thing and I’m immediately wondering if I have any #2 pencils and if the substitute is going to be a hot babe today. I can’t see many people buying this. I’m not anti-wood, there’s just something strange about it. I suppose if the Amish suddenly start buying laptops and trading in their buggys for segways, I’ll be proven wrong. Until then, I don’t see much excitement about this concept.

The F705i is the world’s slimmest, waterproof 3G cellphone at 13.7mm thick. The Fujitsu handset can survive in up to 1-meter of water submersion for 30 minutes.

The F705i features Super Clear Voice and Super Clear Mike technology, therefore it automatically adjusts volume settings in response to ambient noise levels. It will also feature a 1.3MP camera with Quick Zoom functionality, allowing users to increase and decrease on-screen text size with a single button. The F705i is 106×49×13.7mm tall, weighs in at 111g and will give you 170-minute of talk time, or 100-minutes of video calling, all on a single charge. No one is sure yet if we will see this in the States, but if you plan on spending a lot of time underwater it might be worth tracking one down.
