Fujitsu phone is first to be waterproof and offer fingerprint authentication

Posted in Fujitsu by Shane McGlaun on January 19th, 2009

Fujitsu PrimeI was never really into fingerprint authentication on my devices. The first thing I ever purchased with a fingerprint scanner was my Dell XPS M1330 laptop. I can safely say fingerprint authentication on my laptop sucks. It usually takes three or more swipes to get the reader to accept my fingerprints and I can log in by typing my password faster than by swiping.

Some folks really like the idea of fingerprint authentication though and Fujitsu has announced the first waterproof cell phone to offer fingerprint authentication. Why waterproof you wonder? Well, I know a lady who has dropped not one or two iPhones into the toilet, but three. Yeah that’s a crappy iPhone.

New Fujitsu HDD can erase itself in under 1 Second

Posted in Fujitsu by Conner Flynn on November 11th, 2008

New Fujitsu HDD can erase itself in under 1 SecondNow here’s a claim that you don’t hear everyday. Fujitsu’s new 500 GB, 5400 RPM Hard Drive has a 2.5-inch spinner that can erase the whole of its bad self in under 1 second. It took you longer then that just to read this.

The MJA2 CH uses 256-bit advanced encryption that encodes data on the fly and it’s the first 500 GB HDD with the technology. It also gets points for being a bit more eco-friendly as the MJA2 CH drive only uses 1.4 watts of power while writing data and is considered to have eco-friendly components. The MJA2 CH HDD will surface early next year, at which point it will have permanent amnesia as it gathers data and erases itself to your heart’s content.

Fujitsu unveils LifeBook N7010 with 4-inch touchscreen

Posted in Fujitsu by Conner Flynn on November 4th, 2008

Fujitsu unveils LifeBook N7010 with 4-inch touchscreenFujitsu surprised us this morning with the 16-inch LifeBook N7010, which features a second four-inch touch screen above the keyboard. Fujitsu is calling the sub-display the “Touch Zone”. Interestingly, the touchscreen seems like it acts as a second monitor, so you could replace the default launcher app with anything you choose, even full-screen video. Just drag something down to it.

It’s an interesting design that should take off. Other specs include: 2.26GHz P8400 Core 2 Duo, 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphics, 4GB RAM, 320GB drive, Blu-ray, 1.3 megapixel webcam, and WiFi / Bluetooth. The Fujitsu LifeBook N7010 will start shipping on November 10th, and is available to order now in the fixed-configuration for $1,499.

Posted in Fujitsu by Conner Flynn on October 20th, 2008

Fujitsu LifeBook A1110 laptop has swappable lidAnd thank god, cuz that one is fugly. Makes me queasy just looking at it. Fujitsu recently intro’d the new LifeBook A1110 15.4-inch consumer- oriented notebook with a swappable lid. That way you can show your style with a green mod labyrinth, bright pink with butterflies, or a cool blue Victorian print. The green mod labyrinth pis making me dizzy.

Fujitsu’s LifeBook A1110 is powered by an Intel Centrino 2 and comes with the Core 2 Duo P7350 or T5800 processor, up to 4GB of DDR2 memory, up to 320GB of hard drive space, and a DVD burner.

Fujitsu concept phone is modular

Posted in Fujitsu by Conner Flynn on September 30th, 2008

Fujitsu concept phone is modularAs usual, Japan has it going on in the advanced concept phone department. This reconfigurable Fujitsu device was shown at CEATEC and allows the user to separate the screen and touchscreen keypad however they like. This comes from a research partnership between Fujitsu and Docomo.

Both parts can be used by themselves or joined together with magnets and used horizontally or vertically. What the touchscreen shows is determined by where you stick the screen on the keypad. The screen module houses all of the software functions, which includes video recording and games. The keyboard section is responsible for other tasks, like 3G and radio. Communication between both sections is done through Bluetooth. It would be nice to see this move from concept to reality, but who knows.

Fujitsu U810 and T2010 Tablet PCs now available

Posted in Tablet PC by Conner Flynn on May 4th, 2008

Fujitsu U810 and T2010 Tablet PCs now availableFujitsu has just released the U810 and T2010 tablet PCs.

“Zero-Watt” Monitor: Zero power in standby mode

Posted in Fujitsu by Conner Flynn on April 30th, 2008

“Zero-Watt” Monitor: Zero power in standby mode
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.

Fujitsu’s wooden laptop concept

Posted in Fujitsu by Conner Flynn on April 13th, 2008

Fujitsu’s wooden laptop concept
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.

Fujitsu’s new 320GB notebook HDD spins at 7200 RPM

Posted in Hard Drives by Shane McGlaun on March 24th, 2008

Fujitsu 320GB 7200 RPM Notebook HDDA notebook hard drive sporting 320GB isn’t a new capacity and there are larger notebook drives available right now. However, what is interesting about the new 320GB Fujitsu MHZ2 BJ series notebook drive is that it spins at 7200 RPM.

Typically when a notebook hard drive gets into higher capacities it has to slow down to 5400 RPM or even less for some drives. Not so with the new Fujitsu drive, it gets to spin at full speed. Fujitsu says that the drive has an average latency time of 4.17ms and has a read seek time of 10.5ms and a write seek time of 12ms.
