Fujitsu has quietly unveiled its new Stylistic ST6012 tablet PC via its own product page at the Fujitsu website.  This tablet PC is geared to business professionals who want to be productive at work while on the move, mainly because the tablet PC is “light, thin and robust” which makes it a good piece of hardware to bring wherever you may go.  In addition, Fujitsu claims that the tablet PC’s housing gives extra protection against dampness and dust.  Rest assured that you can bring the tablet PC even on construction sites and you would not have to worry of damaging your machine.

So, the Amilo Mini has been showing its face quite a bit lately, first beginning with some leaked images, then a quick video surfaced and finally we saw some information about its interchangeable lids.

While it certainly has not been good at hiding, the Amilo Mini has remained somewhat elusive in terms of full specs, pricing and a release date, you know, the important items.

Of course, this is still just mostly rumor, but it looks like we have some more details. The netbook is expected to be officially unveiled during the upcoming IFA trade show in Berlin on August 28, hopefully we will see an availability date shortly after.

As far as the specs, it looks like it will be a fairly standard netbook offering, and include an Intel Atom processor, 1.3-megapixel webcam and running Windows XP. Similar to the specs the pricing is expected to come in just where we would expect, in the ballpark of $600-800 US.

Although we’ve reported before that Fujitsu’s new Lifebook U2010 UMPC has hit the FCC for approval as the U820, Fujitsu Singapore went ahead and officially launched the UMPC as the U2010 in Singapore. So, while the US UMPC fans awaits for Fujitsu to launch in the US market, here’s a quick rundown of the official specs and details of the Lifebook U2010.

Aside from what we already know that the U2010 will have a 1.6GHz Intel Centrino Atom processor Z530, a SuperFine 5.6” WXGA 1280 x 800 display, a choice between 60GB HD or 64GB SSD for storage and its WLAN, LAN and Bluetooth connectivity features, we also learned that Fujitsu is prepping up the U2010 as a multimedia device. As such, it will have wireless connectivity features that would let users connect to any FM radio and its audio output. It’s music on-demand technology will let users play songs directly from their U2010’s music library as well.

In addition, the Lifebook U2010 also features; a built-in 1.3 megapixel web camera and a digital microphone, Microsoft’s Origami Experience 2.0, web browser,

Remember the Fujitsu Lifebook U2010 that was spotted in Vietnam not so long ago? Well, you may not have to wait that long before it reaches the US market as the mini-tablet PC is already seeking the FCC approval. Interestingly, it is now bearing the name Lifebook U820. No word yet on why the sudden change in name, but we’re thinking that it might be to avoid confusing this UMPC with another Fujitsu product known as the T2010.

So far we have seen a leaked image, and a brief video, and now another video has surfaced showing off some cool looking interchangeable colored lids for the Amilo netbook, however we are still severely lacking any information on specs.

This latest video offers just another brief glimpse, and still does not offer any new details, aside from the colored covers.

Just to recap what we do have so far, the Amilo netbook is expected to feature an 8.9-inch display, retail for somewhere around €300 to €400 (around $475 to $635 US) and is rumored to be officially unveiled during IFA this August.

If nothing else it does look cool, hopefully it will offer a decent set of specs also. Keep reading to check out the video…

Just recently we showed off an image (pictured right) of what was reported to be the upcoming Amilo netbook from Fujitsu Siemens and it looks like it has since been caught on video.

Overall the video is nothing overly exciting, it simply offers a quick overview, but still, it somehow seems a little nicer to see a video as opposed to just a picture.

If nothing else this video certainly does show off the small size, at least when compared to the 17-inch notebook that its sitting on top of.

The Amilo netbook is expected to be officially unveiled during IFA in Berlin this August and retail in the ballpark of €300 to €400 (around $475 to $635 US).

It seems like Fujitsu is prepping a new mini laptop/tablet PC called the Lifebook U2010. Don’t be confused by the model name though as it certainly is different from the Lifebook T2010 which was previously announced by Fujitsu.

For one the U2010 sports a 5.6-inch 1024x768 display while the T2010 has a full 12.1-inch LED display. The U2010 also features a 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz Intel Atom processor, a 80GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, a 3G radio, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The above picture features both the existing 17-inch Amilo notebook, which is along side Fujitsu’s upcoming entry into the netbook market. The 8.9-inch netbook is rumored to be coming this autumn and is expected to retail for €400, which is currently around $640 US.

Specs are still unknown, but based on the keyboard it looks like it will be running, or at least have the option for Windows Vista. One thing that we can tell for sure is that if Fujitsu is truly looking to compete in this market, they are going to need to pack something really special inside to justify that price, especially with the Dell E rumored to be coming in at $299.

Fujitsu Europe has upgraded the storage capacity of its portable HandyDrive 2.5-inch external HDD with up to 500GB. This is in addition to other models which are available in 160GB, 250GB, 320GB and 400GB storage capacities.

The HandyDrive also features a maximum data transfer rate of 60mbps, an 8MB read/write buffer and a password lock tool option for data security and unauthorized access. The Fujitsu HandyDrive should be a good option for a portable drive since it measures only 5.59 x 3.23 x 0.87-inches in size and weighs a mere 7.76-ounces.
