Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 Is Glorious, Overpriced

It's rare for a product that doesn't come from Apple to be both breathtakingly beautiful and hysterically overpriced. Apparently Fujitsu has been learning from the masters of the craft. The Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 (Akihabara News) was officially announced at CES 2010 this year. This was something we'd very much been looking forward to...until we saw the price Fujitsu expected people to pay for it; $999. So what does a good Fujitsu customer get for their thousand bucks? A hand-sized 1.1 pound mini-notebook with a 5.6" multi-touch screen, an Atom Z series CPU, a 62 GB SSD, Windows 7 home premium, GPS, Garmin Mobile navigation, Bluetooth, WiFi, stereo mic, ECO battery-life increasing button, and a lovely champagne finish. This thing is basically a Palm Pilot that took up smoking meth and abusing powerful steroids.Here's the big question; is the UH900 worth $1000? Probably. It has everything the best smartphones have, plus the kitchen sink and a few pounds of extra 'oomph'! We'll wait for some reviews to make an official judgement, of course. Even if the UH900 works like a charm and has a perfect UI, it'll still be too damned expensive for the vast majority of customers to buy. Here's praying for a carrier subsidy!
