Hasta La Gadget!

The gray clouds of Sharp’s gloomy earnings are about to get a silver lining: NTT DoCoMo is at last launching Sharp’s new flagship phone, the breathlessly worded Aquos Phone Zeta SH-02E, on November 29th. When it arrives, the SH-02E will be its* first smartphone to carry an IGZO-based display and show us just how well the high-brightness, low-energy invention fares in a 4.9-inch, 720p LCD. There’s no known fixed pricing, although it’s likely the Android 4.0 device will be sitting at the very top of its Japanese carrier’s range through its Snapdragon S4 Pro, 16-megapixel camera and LTE data. Not fully convinced of IGZO’s worth? Fujitsu’s more conventional Arrows V F-04E is arriving a day earlier with a regular LCD and a Tegra 3, although we’d say that it’s worth waiting the extra 24 hours to be a technology vanguard.

Update: While the SH-02E was the first phone announced with an IGZO LCD screen, it’s been beaten to the market by ASUS’ Padfone 2, which is also rocking the new technology.

Folks over at the FCC have had the recent pleasure of looking through the Fujitsu Stylistic Q572, making sure that it will meet all kinds of criteria set by the body before being declared as safe, good and ready to hit the US market in due time. Just a refresher, the Fujitsu Stylistic Q572 is a 10” tablet that will target the business and enterprise markets, shipping with the much anticipated Windows 8 operating system, sporting an AMD Z-60 Hondo processor underneath the hood.

There is still no word on pricing or availability, but since it has already received the nod of approval by the FCC, you know for sure it is primed and ready to rock and roll Stateside. The AMD Z-60 1GHz dual-core processor ought to provide enough processing muscle to get it going, accompanied by a Radeon HD 6250 graphics chipset for HD video and 3D graphics acceleration. It measures 10.8″ x 6.9″ x 0.55″ and tips the scales at approximately 1.5 pounds, sporting a dual-digitizer, letting you use a digital pen or your fingers if you want to use the touchscreen display.

Other hardware specifications include a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI, Ethernet, and an SDXC memory card reader, not to mention Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. Want some portable data connectivity without being at the mercy of an available WiFi hotspot? Not a problem – there is a SIM card slot for that.

Computers are computers and can be used by both men and women alike, but apparently Fujitsu thinks that there is a distinction and has recently announced a range of laptops that was designed for women, by women. Dubbed the Floral Kiss these laptops have apparently been designed for women in mind not just in terms of more feminine colors, but in terms of the design of the laptop itself where the flip latch which opens the display has been created with long fingernails taken into consideration.

Fujitsu has come out with their new Windows 8 tablet, the ARROWS Tab Wi-Fi QH55 / J. Powered by a 1.50GHz Intel Atom Z2760 dual-core processor, this waterproof tablet is packed with a 10.1-inch 1366 x 768 IPS LCD screen, a 2GB RAM, a 64GB of flash storage, a microSD card slot, dual cameras (2MP front & 8MP rear), GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and runs on Windows 8 32-bit OS with Office Home and Business 2010 pre-installed.

Fujitsu’s Windows 8 touchscreen strategy isn’t solely centered on tablets; the company also has a 23-inch all-in-one PC, the Esprimo X913-T, which uses ultrasonics to figure out if you’re paying attention. The desktop offers Intel Core i3-3220T or Core i5-3470T processors and up to 16GB of memory, as well as a 1920 x 1080 display with 10-point multitouch for navigating through Windows 8′s Live Tile UI.

Storage is courtesy of up to a 750GB 5,400rpm HDD, or alternatively a 320GB 7,200rpm drive or 128GB SSD, with Intel HD graphics. Connectivity includes audio in, audio out, four USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, DVI, and gigabit ethernet, with WiFi an option along with a webcam and microphones.

As for the ultrasonics, Fujitsu has equipped the Esprimo X913-T with a sensor that uses reflected soundwaves to figure out if there’s someone in front of the screen. Then, like Samsung Smart Stay on the Galaxy S III, the display stays active even if nobody touches the keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen, but automatically locks when the user moves away. Facial recognition with the webcam can speed up the unlocking process too.

The 23-inch display is posable, and can be laid completely flat for those times you want to pretend you have a SUR40 multitouch table. No word on pricing at this stage, but Fujitsu says the Esprimo X913-T will go on sale from Windows 8′s launch next week.
