Fujitsu-Siemens' Pocket Loox N100 / N110 unveiled
We first heard it was coming back in January and sho'nuff, Fujitsu-Siemens just went live with their new LOOX N100 series of pocket GPS navigators. These SiRFstar III devices run WinCE 5.0 on their 300MHz Samsung MCP3 processor and include 64MB RAM with miniSD expansion, a 2.8-inch QVGA (240 x 320) 64k color touchscreen display, MP3/WMA/AAC music playback, and NAVIGON MobileNavigator 6 navigation software all in a 0.02-pound lightweight device. The N110 also packs in an addition 2GB of flash while the N100 ekes out 128MB. We still don't have a price or ship date but it can't be long now.[Via FirstLoox]
Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Q2010 now with HSDPA
As if this handsome little bugger wasn't already the "world's most desirable laptop," the Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Q2010 won't just have Bluetooth, WiFi, 1GB RAM, a black "piano lacquer" finish, an eight-hour battery, a weight of about 2 1/2 pounds, and 3G -- it'll be 3.5G. That's right, T-Mobile Austria intends to equip the laptop with HSDPA data access for use on their high speed European network. The $5,000 price tag on the Q2010 just became that much easier to justify.
Fujitsu-Siemens' 3G-enabled Lifebook E8210 reviewed
With most manufacturers concentrating on making smartphones ever-smaller, it's refreshing to see Fujitsu-Siemens flip the script and release what may be the world's biggest Windows-powered handset, eschewing CE for XP in the process. Actually, F-S is marketing the six-pound Lifebook E8210 as a laptop, what with its 15.4-inch, 1,680 x 1,050 display, 2GB of RAM, and full-size keyboard, but any data-centric device that can make cellphone calls (thanks to the built in HSDPA-compatible 3G card) is a smartphone in our book. Whatever you wanna call it, the E8210 impresses on many fronts, says Trusted Reviews, who give the 2.16GHz, Core Duo T2600-powered model nine out of ten stars, highlighting its connectivity (802.11/a/b/g, Bluetooth, HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS, PCMCIA/ExpressCard slot, four USB, and even serial, parallel, and D-SUB ports), security (fingerprint reader and Smartcard), and benchmark performance. The only downsides here seem to be the lack of a 3G CDMA option and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics, which definitely makes this Lifebook anathema to gamers -- but at over $3,500, the E8210 is clearly being targeted at corporate, and not LAN party, deployment.
