Fujitsu Releases 2.5 inch 250GB HDD
Today Fujitsu announced that they have developed a new super HDD with a 9.5mm profile that packs 250GB of storage space onto the small 5400 rpm 2.5” drive. The high storage capacity was reached by using perpendicular writing technology similar to that Seagate used with their 750GB drive.
Jujitsu expects to begin selling the MHY2 BH series drives during Q2 of 2007 with a target market of global makers of mobile computers and consumer electronics. Not only is this small drive packed with storage space, but it has a low noise level of 2.4 bels (1 bel is 10 decibels) and only needs 1.9 watts or less of power to operate. Read more

Super Expensive Happy Hacking Keyboard from Fujitsu PFU
I actually thought the blank keyboard was a fad and is over now, but Fujitsu just released two new very expensive hand-made Happy Hacking Keyboards in Japan.
We reported about the Happy Hacking Keyboards with blank keys the first time in May 2005. The PFU company is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a keyboard priced at 525,000 Yen (~$4,394) and a 'cheaper' model priced at 262,500 Yen (~$2,197).
I feel such a looser now, typing away on my $20 UltraX media keyboard from Logitech.

Fujitsu Hitachi introduces World's Smallest 1080p Plamsa HDTV
Fujitsu Hitachi beats Panasonic in the race for the world's smallest full HDTV resolution (1920x1080pixels) Plasma TV.
In October Panasonic took the lead with a 50 inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. Fujitsu Hitachi announced
now a 42 inch 1080p Plasma HDTV.
The pixel size is 0.16mm(x3) x 0.48mm. No word yet on when Fujitsu Hitachi would actually bring this Full HD Plasma to the market.
I actually would be already happy with the 50 inch Full HD Plasma TV from Panasonic. But there is also no word yet, when this one will be available. Full HD Plasmas would have the highest resolution for years to come. There are lots of discussions if it is worth it for today's available content. If you plan to own a TV for about 10 years, then I think it is very well worth considering a full HD TV.

Fujitsu Shows Unique Color Electronic Paper
Fujitsu announces world's first film substrate-based bendable color electronic paper with an image memory function.
This is pretty cool. This epaper can continue to display what has been programmed without power. This can have endless implications for future products.
The thin and flexible electronic paper uses very low power to change screen images, thereby making it ideal for displaying information or advertisements in public areas as a type of new electronic media that can be handled as easily as paper.
The new electronic paper is constructed of three displaying layers - red, blue, and green.
Fujitsu is targeting commercialization within fiscal year 2006.

unattractive. The HOAP-3 is 60 cm tall and weighs 8.8kg. The robot can process and act on sound and visual images.

New DoCoMo 3G Handset Hits the Street: Fujitsu F900i
We reported about the new NTT DoCoMo F900i 3G Phone on Tuesday. Our friends at WirlessWatchJapan have a Video Report about the new Fujitsu F900i.
Last December, DoCoMo unveiled its latest 900i series 3G FOMA phones in a splashy press conference at Tokyo's Imperial hotel, and today, Friday Feb. 6, the first of that series, the Fujitsu F900i, hit the shops. The 900is, which Takeshi Natsuno calls "The best 3G phones in the world," are the first new FOMA models since last July's 2102v series. Compared with the original FOMA phones, the 900is have 3X standby time (480 hours) and weigh 20% less. In other words, they are as good as DoCoMo's 2G PDC terminals! The new Fujitsu distinguishes itself with a finger print sensor and, like the other 900i models, a huge (100k) flash bucket. As you sit back and enjoy this video preview to our upcoming program of that launch event, note that DoCoMo is not saying when the other fab 4 are coming out.. yet.

Fujitsu Lifebook P5020 Review
DesignTechnica reviews the Fujitsu Lifebook P5020.
Quote:
For those ready to wean themselves away from the bigger-is-always-better
world of widescreen laptops, the Sony VAIO TR2A and Fujitsu Lifebook-P5010
are the class of the sub notebook market. But a combination of lower price
and more removable-media options give the Lifebook an edge that ensures you
get the portability you need without sacrificing flexibility. The Fujtisu
Lifebook-P5010 is the BMW Cooper Mini of the laptop world. It's tiny frame
and attractive looks hide the fact that it is feature-packed, easy to own,
and for most exactly what is needed out on the road.
Full Review.
The Fujitsu Lifebook P5020 sells starting at $1699.00 Amazon.com..
