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.
