Fujitsu to Enter UMPC Market

Fujitsu will enter the ultra-mobile PC market with its UMPC device, which design was showcased at Intel Developers Forum in Beijing last week, Tablet PC Review reports.

Fujitsu’s UMPC will feature the latest Intel “Stealey” A100 or A110 processor reportedly. Since “Stealey” is designed for use with Intel’s Ultra Mobile Platform 2007, codenamed “McCaslin”, we assume the device will be based on that platform.

Fujitsu’s forthcoming ultra-mobile incorporates 5.6-inch (1024 x 600) display, 1GB of main memory, 40GB hard drive, two cameras and SD reader, according to report.

The UMPC is equipped with two-core battery and optional four-core battery that can last seven hours.

“It seems to have a nice Tablet PC design, since the screen rotates and lays flat over the keyboard. No word on pricing or when exactly this will be available, but rumors are saying maybe this summer,” Tablet PC Review says.
